Steps

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Heat large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add 1 T. oil, and swirl to coat pan. Add onion and cook 5 minutes or until onion becomes translucent, stirring often. Stir in button mushrooms, garlic, and salt, cook 8-10 minutes or until soft and most liquid is evaporated. Stir frequently. Stir in rice and cook 1-2 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in goat cheese.

Place stuffed portobellos on baking sheet greased with remaining 1 T. oil, and sprinkle each with 1 t. breadcrumbs. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until heated through and breadcrumbs are golden. Sprinkle with parsley.
