CAN I COOK GRILLED STUFFED CHICKEN IN THE OVEN?
Yes, stuffed chicken can easily be baked in the oven. Place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish, uncovered and bake at 375F (190c) for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through. When using toothpicks to secure the filling inside the chicken, be sure to soak them for 20 minutes in water before using, to prevent burning.
Cooking Tips & Tricks for KETO Grilled Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast
- Undercooked chicken? Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken is cooked to an internal temperature 165F (74c)
- Having trouble stuffing the chicken? Use your fingers instead of a spoon to stuff the chicken
- Stuffing falling out of chicken? Use 2 toothpicks in a criss-cross pattern across the opening (see image below). When turning the chicken, be sure to flip carefully so none of the filling is lost

- How to cut the chicken breast for easy stuffing? Place the chicken breast flat on a cutting board and cut in half horizontally (do not cut all the way though) to create a pocket. This is also known as a butterflied chicken breast and it allows the poultry to cook evenly and quickly.
- Don’t like gorgonzola? Substitute in your favorite cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, goat cheese or a blend.
How to make KETO Grilled Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast
Start by cutting a slit in the centre of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through as you want to form a pocket inside for the stuffing.
Now, slice the mushrooms, shallots (or onion) and garlic as fine as possible. Mix the vegetables with the cheese.
Stuff the mixture into each chicken breast pocket then take a toothpick (or two) and use it to hold the pocket closed.
Using a toothpick to secure the chicken, prevents the filling from falling out during cooking.
Place on a pre-heated grill or in a large skillet on medium-heat and cook for 8-10 minutes or until each side is fully cooked through (to 165F, 74c).
See cooking tips above for instructions for baking in the oven.
Remove chicken from the grill or skillet and serve hot with a salad or roast vegetables.
