A comforting dish of tender chicken smothered in rich mushroom gravy and melted cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 slices cooked bacon (crumbled, optional)
  • 2 green onions (sliced, optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the sliced mushrooms, sautéing until golden brown.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms, stir to coat, then gradually whisk in beef broth and milk, letting it simmer until it thickens.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon mushroom gravy over the top, and sprinkle shredded cheese on each piece.
  6. Preheat the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
  7. Optional: Garnish with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
