How to Make Stuffed Mushrooms with Shredded Chicken
1. Prep the mushrooms
-
Remove the stems from the mushrooms so you have a hollow cup.
-
On the other side of each mushroom, make a small hole with a skewer. This helps any water escape while cooking so the mushrooms don’t go soggy.
2. Cook the chicken
-
Take Zulekha shredded chicken straight from the freezer.
-
Put a portion into the air fryer and cook until hot and lightly crispy on the edges.
-
Take it out and chop into smaller pieces so it’s perfect for stuffing.
3. Stuff the mushrooms
- first put the chopped shredded chicken
- then add a pinch of chopped bell pepper.
- Top with a little mozzarella cheese.
4. Air-Frying
-
Put the them in the air fryer at around 180°C for 10 minutes
-
Until the mushrooms look cooked and the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden.
5. Finish and serve
-
Take them out and sprinkle with chopped spring onions.
-
Add a tiny pinch more thyme on top if you like.
-
Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
