Description
Juicy, grilled chicken breasts topped with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and gooey melted cheese. A restaurant favorite that’s 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
- Use a fork or jacquard tool to poke several holes in the chicken breasts. Place them in a Ziploc bag with the Italian dressing and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and add the sliced mushrooms and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add water to deglaze the pan and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom for extra flavor.
- Add white pepper, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to the sautéed mushrooms and onions. Stir to combine.
- Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the mushroom-onion mixture over the chicken and top with slices of Monterey Jack cheese.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes or rice pilaf for a complete meal.
