Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 15 boneless chicken thighs (skinless or skin-on)
  • 1/2 large onion, finely grated
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp Mrs. Dash or your favorite salt-free seasoning (plus extra for topping)

For the Mushroom Stuffing:

  • 1 lb mushrooms
  • 1/2 large onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp flour

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs, grated onion, mayonnaise, salt, and Mrs. Dash. Mix well and refrigerate to marinate while preparing the mushroom stuffing.
  2. Prepare the Mushroom Stuffing: Rinse and pat dry the mushrooms, then slice them. Finely dice the onion. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion. Cover and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid. Add salt, pepper, and flour. Whisk everything together and cook until the mixture reaches a gravy-like consistency. Remove from heat.
  3. Stuff the Chicken Thighs: Place each marinated chicken thigh, top side down, on a clean surface. Spread the chicken out and place a heaping tablespoon of the mushroom filling in the center. Fold the chicken over the filling and place the stuffed thigh, seam side down, in a baking pan. Repeat with the remaining chicken thighs.
  4. Bake: Arrange the stuffed chicken thighs in the pan, making sure they are not overcrowded. Sprinkle a little more Mrs. Dash over the top. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Remove the foil, drain some liquid, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
  5. Crisp the Tops (Optional): For a golden, crispy top, broil the chicken for 3-5 minutes until golden. Brush with olive oil for a nice finish.
