Love mushrooms and cheese? Then you really must try my recipe for Baked Cheesy Chicken and Mushrooms. So good, so smooth, buttery with just the right amount of garlic.

What you need:

3 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. olive oil
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 tbsp. minced garlic
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chicken stock


How to make it:

Preheat oven to 375F and spray a 13 x 9 inch casserole pan with cooking spray.

Heat 1 tbsp. butter and 1/2 tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Add mushrooms and onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.

Pour half of this mixture into the prepared casserole pan and set the other half aside.

Season chicken with paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning and heat the remaining butter and oil in the skillet.

Add chicken to the skillet and cook 2 minutes on each side.

Transfer chicken breasts to the casserole pan on top of the mushrooms and onions.

Add chicken stock to the skillet and scrape the bottom of the pan to bring the browned bits of flavor out.

Bring to a boil and let cook until chicken stock has reduced, about 5 minutes.

Add the remaining mushroom/onion mixture on top of the chicken breasts, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and pour chicken stock sauce over the top.

Bake for 15 minutes and serve or just until the cheese melts
