Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms (fresh)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks Green onion (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 cup Teriyaki sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 10 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Clean the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to create a pocket in each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.

Step 3

Finely chop the shiitake mushrooms and combine them in a bowl with the minced garlic, green onion, panko breadcrumbs, soy sauce, sesame oil, and beaten egg. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom mixture, making sure to fill the cavity without overstuffing. Secure the edges with toothpicks to enclose the stuffing.

Step 5

Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 6

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and registers an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Once fully cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and brush the tops of the chicken breasts generously with teriyaki sauce.

Step 9

Return the skillet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow the glaze to set and become glossy.

Step 10

Remove the toothpicks, plate the chicken breasts, and spoon any remaining teriyaki glaze from the skillet over the top. Serve hot with rice or steamed vegetables.
