Total cooking time: 50min
I saw these gorgeous fresh mushrooms in the store, and it seemed they were asking to be stuffed – clean, big and even sized.
I decided to stuff them with creamy chicken and feta cheese mix dressed with sour cream and a bit of fresh parsley. If this sounds like a good idea to you, try this recipe.
And by the way, it can be served as an appetizer (especially if you use bite size mushroom caps), snack or even main course.
Ingredients:
- 0.5lb of chicken meat
- 1.5-2oz of feta cheese
- 10 big fresh field mushrooms, about 1.5lb
- 4 tablespoons of original sour cream
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- About half cup of shredded mozzarella
- Fresh parsley to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- Tablespoon of oil
How to prepare, step-by-step:
- Prepare ingredients: mine mushrooms were rather big, 10 of them made up for 1.5lb, if you use smaller size mushrooms it will take a bit more time to stuff them, but amount of ingredients for stuffing should be about the same:
-
Wash mushrooms thoroughly, pat them dry and then remove stems (but keep them you will use them for stuffing) using small knife from all mushrooms:
- Arrange mushroom caps in a baking pan (or a baking sheet lined with a parchment paper) and salt a bit:
- Chop chicken finely:
- Warm up skillet with a tablespoon of oil over moderate-high heat, add chopped chicken, fry for about 5 mins stirring from time to time:
- While chicken is cooking, chop mushroom stems:
- Add chopped mushrooms to the skillet with chicken, cook mushrooms together with chicken for 5mins more, stir from time to time:
- Mix flour with sour cream:
- Reduce heat and pour sour cream and flour mix to the skillet:
- Salt a bit (consider that feta cheese is salted too, so don’t over do it) and season with ground black pepper and mix:
- Continue cooking for 8-10 mins more, until mixture thickens, then set aside to cool down:
- While mixture is cooling down, warm up oven to 360F and shred feta cheese:
- Mix chicken and mushroom mix with shredded feta cheese in a bowl:
- Add chopped parsley:
- And mix, add more salt if needed:
- Using 2 spoons evenly distribute stuffing between prepared mushroom caps:
- Like so:
- Set a pinch of shredded mozzarella on top of each stuffed mushroom cap:
- And set into warmed up oven (360F) for 15-20 mins, then take baking pan from the oven and let mushrooms to cool down a bit, then serve:
