Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large (sliced) Yellow onion
- 8 ounces (sliced) Cremini or button mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown but not fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Lower the heat to medium.
Add the sliced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until caramelized and soft.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, along with thyme if using. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the onion and mushroom mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F or 74°C internal temperature) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp side salad.
