Cheesy Mushroom Chicken Breast

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon butter, divided
  • Mushroom Mixture:
  • 8 ounces sliced button mushrooms
  • 1 sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • salt , to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • FOR THE CHICKEN BREASTS
  • 4 chicken breast, 1/2 inch in thickness
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt , to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter and add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and onions to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for about 20 seconds until fragrant.
  • Transfer half of the mushroom mixture to the prepared baking dish and set the remainder aside.
  • Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining butter and olive oil.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the hot oil. If the skillet isn’t large enough, you may need to do this in batches. Cook the chicken for 2 minutes per side or until lightly browned.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and arrange them over the mushrooms in the baking dish.
  • Return the skillet to the stove, add chicken broth, and scrape up the browned bits. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the liquid is reduced.
  • Meanwhile, top the chicken breasts with the remaining mushroom mixture, add cheese over the chicken breasts, and finally, pour in the prepared chicken broth.
  • Bake the dish uncovered for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove it from the oven.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Serve and enjoy.
