Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied
• 1 t. salt
• 1/2 t. dried basil
• 1/2 t. dried oregano
• 1/2 t. paprika
• 1/2 t. caraway seeds

• 1/4 t. white pepper
• 1/4 t. onion powder
• 1/2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz. white or cremini mushrooms, sliced

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
2. Use a meat tenderizer to pound out the chicken breasts until about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket in the side of each chicken breast. Run the knife parallel to the cutting board and insert the tip of the knife into the thickest portion of the breast, continuing to cut down lengthwise. Or, ask your butcher to do this at the meat counter.
