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
- 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.
- 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. Add salt, pepper, and flour. Whisk everything together and cook until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
- 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.
- Bake: Arrange the stuffed chicken thighs in the pan, sprinkle with more Mrs. Dash, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Remove foil, drain some liquid, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
- Crisp the Tops (Optional): For a crispy top, broil the chicken for 3-5 minutes until golden. Brush with olive oil for a nice finish.
Notes
- You can customize the seasoning in the mushroom stuffing to suit your taste preferences.
- Ensure the chicken thighs are fully cooked before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for another meal.
