Garlic Mushroom Chicken with Mozzarella and Parmesan

 

Ingredients

Meat:

• • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Produce:
• • 4 garlic cloves, minced
• • 1 ½ cups mushrooms, sliced
• • 1 tsp dried oregano
• • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Baking & Spices:

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Oils & Vinegars:

• 1 tbsp olive oil

Dairy:

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

• ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

 

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.

2. Cook the chicken:

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown but not fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.

3. Sauté the mushrooms and garlic:

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. Assemble the dish:

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the mushrooms. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top of the chicken.

5. Bake the chicken:

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Garnish and serve:

Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.
