Ingredients
Scale
- 20–25 large white mushrooms, stems removed
- 2 cups (about 280g) cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- ½ cup (120ml) buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (60g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix (or dried dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder blend)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Clean and prep the mushrooms by wiping caps with a damp cloth and removing stems. Finely chop the stems to add to the filling.
- Toss mushroom caps with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange stem side down on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped mushroom stems, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, buffalo sauce, minced garlic, ranch seasoning, and chopped green onions. Mix until creamy and evenly combined. Add more buffalo sauce or a splash of milk if mixture is too dry.
- Fill each mushroom cap with the buffalo chicken mixture using a spoon or small scoop, pressing gently to pack it in.
- Return the filled mushrooms to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and golden on top.
- Let the stuffed mushrooms cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving to help the filling set.
Notes
Roasting the mushroom caps before filling prevents sogginess and concentrates flavor. Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling. Adjust buffalo sauce heat to taste. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even roasting. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
