US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Cut slit into center of chicken, being careful not to cut all the way through, in order to form a pocket
Finely chop mushrooms, shallot and garlic and mix together with cheese
Stuff by spoonfuls into chicken breasts and use a toothpick to hold shut so filling stays inside
Place on preheated grill (or a skillet over medium-heat) and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side until fully cooked through (165F or 74c).

Notes

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 cook stuffed chicken in the oven? Keto Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast can be cooked in the oven instead of grilled. Place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish, uncovered and bake at 375F (190c) for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Soak the toothpicks for 20 minutes in water before using to close the chicken to prevent burning.
