I used only 3 tablespoons of butter in this recipe. Apart from the chicken breast (very low in fat) the recipe also contains a bit of breadcrumbs, some seasoning and lots and lots of mushrooms. So it's lean and full of goodness.
Despite being low in fat this stuffed chicken is juicy and tender and absolutely delicious! The mushroom topping is light and fluffy, and the whole thing has a melt-in-your-mouth quality.
This chicken mushroom recipe contains a handful of ingredients and it's very uncomplicated. I used a super easy method to make this recipe.
