Cheesy Chicken with Mushrooms
This sounds really good! Chicken and cheese, perfect! On my to cook list. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo chicken breasts, (2 lb)
- 250 grams Mozzarella Cheese, shredded, (8 oz)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs, OR make from a shortcut
- 500 grams fresh mushrooms, Shiitake would be perfect, stems removed, sliced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chicken broth, fresh or from powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F), get out a 9x13 baking dish. Spread half of the sliced mushrooms in the bottom of the dish.
- Place the eggs and breadcrumbs in two separate bowls, you are making an assembly line for the chicken.
- Heat a large non stick and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Now place a chicken breast in the egg, then into the breadcrumbs patting them on as well, add the chicken to the hot pan and cook to golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes, not looking to cook the chicken through, just good and golden brown. Work in batches until all the chicken is browned, using additional butter as needed.
- As the chicken is browned, place on top of the mushrooms in the baking dish. Add the remaining mushrooms on top of the chicken, then top with the cheese.
- Pour the broth into the pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown up and the chicken cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes, serve and enjoy.
