Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Top with Mozzarella: Finely grate the mozzarella cheese and sprinkle a pinch over the top of each stuffed mushroom.
  7. 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.
