New Year’s Eve is right around the corner! Still looking for a good party recipe? I’ve got you covered. Covered in spicy chicken and guacamole, that is. These little one-bite stuffed mushrooms have plenty of spicy kick to keep party-goers on their feet until the countdown, but you can easily tone them down with your non-spicy guacamole of choice if you’d like. Oh and don’t mind the “crispy” edges that you see on the chicken here…I got a little distracted while they were in the oven 😉
I made this recipe up when I was visiting my parents for the holidays and needed a hearty but gluten-free and dairy-free appetizer. This one fit the bill and my family seemed to think they were pretty tasty! I went to town on them and even cleaned up the little bit of leftovers the next day 🙂
I made a double batch of the chicken and used the other half for another recipe that I’ll share a little later. I highly recommend doing it that way – even if you don’t use it for a specific recipe, you could use the extra chicken for tacos, salads, or just eat it all by itself!
When I was at my parents house, I made the chicken in the slow cooker but went for the Instant Pot when I remade it at home. The Instant Pot is definitely more convenient but I honestly thought the slow cooked chicken was just slightly tastier. Either way will definitely be delicious, so do whatever fits your schedule. Side note – the mushrooms you see on the plate here are only about half of what the recipe makes.
Chipotle Pulled Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb raw chicken breast
- 3 8-oz packages whole white mushrooms
- 1 cup freshly made guacamole of choice
- 1/2 7-oz can chipotles in adobo sauce
- 1/2 cup red salsa (or other liquid like beer, broth, or orange juice) of choice
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper for seasoning mushrooms
- Olive oil for rubbing mushrooms
Instructions
Add chicken breast to the bottom of a slow cooker or Instant Pot, then top with chipotles in adobo and salsa. If slow cooking, cook on low for 7-8 hours. If using Instant Pot, pressure cook on high for 12 minutes (15 minutes if cooking a double batch) followed by a natural release. Chicken should shred easily with a fork when done.
Remove chicken from slow cooker or Instant Pot and shred with two forks. Return chicken to slow cooker with heat off and set aside.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with SILPAT or aluminum foil.
Remove caps from mushrooms. Use a small spoon to scoop out some space for chicken, if needed.
Rub mushrooms with a small amount of olive oil and arrange them on the baking sheet, cap side up. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add shredded chicken to mushrooms, compacting it slightly. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until chicken begins to brown on the edges.
Top stuffed mushrooms with guacamole, red onion, and cilantro just before serving.
