Texas-Style Smothered Chicken: A Melt-in-Your-Mouth Delight!

A sensational dish featuring tender chicken breasts smothered in sautéed mushrooms, onions, and melted Monterey Jack cheese. Pure comfort food!

Ingredients

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Olive oil

Onion, thinly sliced

Mushrooms, sliced

Butter

Chicken broth

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

    3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    4. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and golden.

    5. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to create a simple pan sauce.

    6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the onion and mushroom mixture over each piece of chicken.

    7. Top generously with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

    8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    9. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
