- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- to taste Salt and pepper

Cooking
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown.

For added flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in your favorite marinade before stuffing. Ensure mushrooms are well-drained to prevent sogginess. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
