Ingredients
  

12 large portobello mushroom caps

1 pound ground chicken

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Sliced jalapeños for extra heat

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the mushroom caps and gently remove the stems, setting them aside for later. Arrange the caps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.

      Add Chicken and Spices: Stir in the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with chili powder, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

        Prepare the Filling: Reduce heat to low and mix in the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced red bell pepper. Stir until the cheeses are melted and everything is well combined.

          Stuff the Caps: Generously spoon the spicy chicken mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing down slightly to ensure they are filled well.

            Bake: Place the stuffed mushroom caps in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are starting to brown.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and add jalapeño slices if you like it extra spicy. Serve warm.
