Cheesy Chicken and Mushrooms

Ingredients

  • 3 T Olive Oil divided
  • 8 oz Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 Large Onion sliced
  • 3-4 Chicken Breasts if large cut in half.
  • 1 t Salt
  • 1/2 t Black Pepper
  • ! T Garlic Powder
  • 3/4 t Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 t Italian Seasoning
  • 1 C Shredded Mozzarella
  • Dried Parsley to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • If your chicken breasts are really fat, you might want to butterfly them or at least, flatten with a mallet. The larger, fatter the chicken breast, the longer they will take to cook.
  • Take a large skillet and put it over medium high heat. Mix all of your seasonings in a small bowl. Sprinkle one side of your chicken with half of the seasoning.
  • Add 1 1/2 T of olive oil to your warm skillet and add the seasoned side chicken to the pan. Sprinkle the top of the chicken breasts with the other half of the chicken.
  • Brown chicken for 4 minutes on each side. Place seared chicken in a baking dish.
  • Add the other 1 1/2 T of olive oil to the skillet and add the sliced mushrooms and sliced onion. Cook for about 4 minutes, until soft but not necessarily cooked through.
  • Pour on top of the chicken breasts. Add 2 T broth to skillet to scrape any browned bits left behind from the chicken or the onion and mushrooms. Pour this over the chicken.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella and parsley on top.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
