Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute with dried parsley.

4. Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom mixture.

6. Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
