For the Mushrooms:
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh mushrooms (about 18 mushrooms, 1 1/2″ in diameter)
- 1 medium to large yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (regular or low-fat)
- 10 oz can of chicken, well drained
- 3/4 cup finely grated mozzarella cheese
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scoop out the centers of each mushroom. Finely chop the stems and the scooped-out mushroom bits, and set them aside.
- Sauté the Onion and Mushrooms: In a medium-high heat skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped mushroom stems and diced onion. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions become soft and golden. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese and well-drained chicken. Season with 1/8 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, then mash everything together with a fork until smooth and combined.
- Mix the Mushroom-Onion Blend: Add the sautéed mushroom and onion mixture to the cream cheese and chicken mixture. Mash together using the fork until everything is evenly combined.
- Stuff the Mushrooms: Use a small ice cream scoop or teaspoon to fill each mushroom cap with the creamy filling, mounding the mixture slightly over the top.
- Top with Mozzarella: Finely grate the mozzarella cheese and sprinkle a pinch over the top of each stuffed mushroom.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft and juicy. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become soggy. Serve hot.
