Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 250g mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through; set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook sliced onions until translucent and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until soft and fragrant, 5 more minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes, reducing slightly.
- Add heavy cream and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over each breast, and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.
- Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 5 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the skillet for even browning.
Use high-quality Monterey Jack cheese for optimal melt and flavor.
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving for juicy results.
