Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon butter, divided
– 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
– 8 ounces sliced button mushrooms
– 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
– Salt to taste
– Fresh ground black pepper to taste
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 pound total), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 4 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
– Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1-Getting Started: First, Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish to get things ready.
2-Getting Started: Next, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt half the butter and olive oil before adding the mushrooms and onions.
3-Cooking the Ingredients: Once the skillet is hot, add mushrooms and onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in garlic and cook for 20 seconds until fragrant.
4-Cooking the Ingredients: Transfer half the mushroom mixture to the baking dish and reserve the rest for later. Return the skillet to heat and add the remaining butter and olive oil.
5-Preparing the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Sear them in the skillet for 2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
6-Preparing the Chicken: Arrange the chicken over the mushrooms in the baking dish. Add chicken broth to the skillet, scrape the browned bits, bring to a boil, and reduce the liquid for 4-5 minutes.
7-Baking and Finishing: Top the chicken with the reserved mushroom mixture, sprinkle cheese over the chicken, and pour the broth into the dish. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the cheese melts.
8-Baking and Finishing: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve. This totals about 35 minutes of preparation and cooking time, making it ideal for weeknights.
