Description
Juicy grilled chicken breasts topped with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and melted cheese, easy to make at home.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ lbs total)
- ½ cup Italian dressing (for marinating)
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (or another neutral, high-heat oil)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp water
- ¼ tsp white pepper
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 oz Monterey Jack cheese, sliced
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: Poke holes in the chicken breasts, place in a Ziploc bag with Italian dressing, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, sear chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown, then set aside.
- Sauté the sliced mushrooms and onions in the same skillet with melted butter for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Add water to deglaze the pan and scrape up brown bits for extra flavor.
- Add the seasonings (white pepper, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt) to the sautéed mixture and stir to combine.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, top with the mushroom-onion mixture and slices of Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, or roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
