Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe

Preparation Time : 20 min.
Cooking Time : 12 min.
Yield :4 people
Ingredients:
Mushrooms - 20 or 1 and half lbs
Chicken - 100 gms
Spinach - 1 cup
Onion - 1 small chopped
Cream cheese - 8 oz at Room temperature
Chiili sauce or hot sauce - 1 tblspn
Black pepper - 1 tspn
Salt - To taste
Butter - 1 tblspn
Monterey jack cheese - 3/4 cup grated
Directions :
First clean the mushrooms and remove the stems.Don't throw the mushroom stems away,chop them finely and put them a side.Heat butter in a pan and add chopped onions and chopped mushroom stems.Fry them for about 5 -6 min.
Now add spinach and cook it for about 3 minutes.Add salt and pepper and mix it well.Next, heat butter in a pan and add chicken and cook it for about 5 minutes and add salt and pepper.Next remove the chicken and chop them finely.
Then, take the spinach onion mix and add it into the chicken and mix it well. Add chilli sauce and mix it well.Now add the cream cheese and give it a good mix.Make sure the spinach onion mix is a little hot so, the cheese will melt easily.It should be like a dip.Next stuff the mushroom with the cheese dip and put it in the baking tray.
Finally take the shredded cheese and put it on top of each stuffed mushroom and sprinkle with bread grams.Now spray it with some olive oil and bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 to 15 min.Enjoy!!
Note:For the mushrooms I used portabella baby mushrooms.You can use any kind of mushrooms.If you have leftover chicken you can use it.For shredded cheese I used montery jack cheese but,you can use any kind of cheese.For vegetarians skip the chicken and use the paneer but,the process is same.Don't over cook the stuffed mushroom.It will take time process,but it is worth it.
