Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Thighs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup of chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked mushrooms and spinach mixture with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Lay the chicken thighs flat on a cutting board. Divide the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly among the chicken thighs, then roll them up and secure with toothpicks.
- Place the stuffed chicken thighs in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your Mushroom and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Thighs!
