Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 oz each
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large oven-safe skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • whisk
  • tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet with the vegetables. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet on top of the mushroom gravy. Top each chicken breast with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a richer gravy, use homemade chicken broth. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded. Experiment with different cheese blends for a unique flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
