Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms
These are the BEST EVER Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms! You can also add pretty much any veggie or protein to the stuffing.
Ingredients
- 20 medium-sized baby Bella mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ pound lean ground chicken or turkey
- ½ medium sweet onion (finely chopped)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (regular or low fat)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup Colby cheese (grated)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives for garnish (chopped)
Instructions
- Wipe down the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Remove the base of each mushroom and finely chop them.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet add olive oil over medium heat. Then add the the ground meat and cook it for about 4 to 5 minutes until it's cooked through. Add the onions, chopped mushroom bases, spices, salt and continue to cook for a few minutes.
- Stir the cream cheese into the meat mixture. It's ok if it's still warm.
- Fill the mushrooms with the filling mixture. Really pack it in there until the mixture is mounded on top of each mushroom.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish or baking pan and sprinkle each mushroom with Colby cheese.
- Bake mushrooms for 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with chives and serve while warm.
