Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) sliced mushrooms
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare oven at 375°F for precise culinary execution.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium flame, creating an ideal searing environment.
- Introduce chicken breasts to the heated surface, developing a golden-brown exterior on each side, approximately 5 minutes per surface.
- Transfer chicken to a temporary holding plate, preserving the developing flavors.
- Utilize the same skillet’s residual heat and oils, introducing minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to create a rich aromatic base.
- Sauté mushrooms until they become tender and release their earthy essence, absorbing surrounding flavors.
- Carefully nestle chicken back into the skillet, creating a harmonious arrangement.
- Generously crown the chicken with a luxurious blend of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, ensuring complete coverage.
- Transfer the skillet directly into the preheated oven, allowing 20-25 minutes for complete chicken cooking and cheese melting.
- Remove from oven and delicately season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to elevate the final presentation.
- Let rest momentarily before serving to allow flavors to harmonize and juices to redistribute.
Notes
- Selecting mushrooms with firm, intact caps ensures the best texture and flavor in this dish.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking mushrooms to achieve a perfect golden-brown caramelization.
- Pat chicken breasts dry before cooking to help create a beautiful, crispy exterior that locks in moisture.
- For a low-carb version, swap regular cheese with full-fat, aged varieties and serve alongside roasted vegetables instead of traditional sides.
