Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the mushrooms.
Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
