Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 4 slices Muenster cheese slices
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown but not cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth and white wine (if using), scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat and let the liquid simmer for 2 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the liquid over them.
Place a slice of Muenster cheese on top of each chicken breast.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Garnish with dried parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
