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.

Notes

One kilo of chicken breasts will cost about 60 Baht. The cheese will cost about 180 Baht for 250 grams. For 4 servings, this is about $1.90 per serving.
