Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Remove the stems from the mushrooms, but keep them aside. Use a small melon baller to scoop out the insides of each mushroom, making sure to leave at least half of the shell intact for filling. Finely chop the mushroom stems and centers.

  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking for 1 minute. Stir in the chicken, chopped mushrooms, kosher salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.

  4. Mix in the flour, cream, and 3 tablespoons of parsley. Cook and stir until the mixture becomes bubbly and thickened. Remove from heat.

  5. Spoon the mixture evenly into the mushroom caps. Place them in a lightly oiled, shallow baking dish.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley on top and garnish with cheese. Bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the dish is hot and the cheese has melted. Garnish with the remaining parsley.

  7. If you don't have leftover chicken, you can either microwave or steam chicken specifically for this recipe. To microwave, place the chicken and 3 tablespoons of water into a shallow baking dish. Cover and microwave at 70 percent power for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the center is no longer pink. Allow the chicken
