Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Mix 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Thoroughly coat each chicken breast with the seasoning blend, ensuring complete coverage.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter and sauté 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1 medium sliced onion for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Splash 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce into the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Transfer sautéed vegetables on top of each chicken breast.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over each chicken breast, covering the vegetables completely.
- Transfer chicken to a preheated 375°F oven. Bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes until cheese melts and becomes slightly bubbly and golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3-4 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Check chicken thickness to ensure even cooking, pounding breasts to a uniform 1/2-inch if needed.
- Select fresh mushrooms and onions for the best flavor and texture in the sautéed topping.
- For a lower-carb version, replace flour coating with almond flour or crushed pork rinds.
- When baking, use a meat thermometer to confirm chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature for safe consumption.
