# Ingredients:
→ Poultry
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
→ Seasonings
02 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
03 -
1 teaspoon paprika
04 -
Salt, to taste
05 -
Black pepper, to taste
→ Dairy
06 -
4 slices provolone cheese or mozzarella
07 -
2 tablespoons butter
→ Vegetables
08 -
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
09 -
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
→ Fats and Oils
10 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Flour and Broth
11 -
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 -
1.5 cups chicken broth
# Steps:
01 -
Evenly coat the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown, without fully cooking through.
03 -
Melt butter in the same skillet. Add sliced onions and mushrooms and sauté over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes.
04 -
Sprinkle flour over the caramelized onions and mushrooms. Stir to coat evenly and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add chicken broth, whisking constantly, and simmer until a smooth, thickened gravy forms.
05 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the seared chicken breasts in a baking dish. Cover each piece with the onion-mushroom mixture and a slice of cheese. Pour the prepared gravy over all. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is fully melted.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after baking for optimal juiciness.
