Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons flour and stir until blended and paste-like. Stir in sour cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper until combined. Cook and stir until mixture is very thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese and cook until it melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and transfer to a pie pan or a square pan. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 1 hour. Cut chilled cheese mixture into 6 "sticks."
• Place 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish, beaten eggs in another dish, and bread crumbs in a third dish.
• Place a chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag and pound with a wooden mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Season chicken with salt and place a cheese stick in the middle. Roll chicken up like a jelly roll. Dust it in flour, dip it in egg, and then dip it in crumbs. Repeat to flatten, stuff, and bread remaining chicken breasts. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or until ready to cook.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a shallow baking dish with foil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Open breasts to lay flat, resembling a butterfly.
• On one half of each breast, layer 1/4 of the mushrooms. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes over each one. Season with pepper, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese over top. Fold the ungarnished sides over the toppings and secure the edges with toothpicks to hold them together while baking. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
• Mix condensed soup with milk and pour over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over top, then add bread crumbs to cover each breast.
• Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake until the bread crumb topping is crispy and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes.

Add wine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Add parsley and pepper, then mix in just enough bread crumbs to bind. Remove from the heat.
• Cut a slit in each chicken breast to form a pocket. Stuff mushroom mixture into each pocket. Season one side of each breast with salt, then with the 1/2 of the spice mixture.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts, seasoned-sides down, in the hot skillet and let them brown for about 2 minutes. Season the tops with the remaining spice mixture, flip, and brown for 2 more minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking tray.
