Description
A comforting and indulgent chicken dish covered in savory mushrooms, sweet onions, and gooey cheese, replicating the restaurant experience at home.
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced horizontally into 4 pieces)
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter, plus extra as needed
- 1 medium white onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- Pinch of salt (for the onions)
- 1/2 pound button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, slice in half horizontally, and pound to an even thickness. Season both sides with seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add butter, and sauté sliced onions with a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes until softened and caramelized.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until browned. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add more butter if needed, and cook the seasoned chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Turn off the heat, top each chicken piece with the mushroom-onion mixture and shredded cheese, cover briefly or place under the broiler until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
