Applebees Smothered Chicken Recipes

SMOTHERED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Coat both sides of chicken breasts with oregano and cayenne pepper and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine. Cook and stir until vegetables shrink down a bit, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and cracked black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low to low; cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Pour mushroom mixture on top of the chicken. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken and cook until cheese is bubbly, about 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken with salt and lemon-pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the chicken breasts in hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 13 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove and keep warm.
• Place bacon in large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; reserve 2 tablespoons drippings. Cook and stir onion and brown sugar in reserved drippings until onion is golden, about 5 minutes.

AWESOME SMOTHERED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Put a few tablespoons cooking oil (I use canola) and a couple of tablespoons butter into a skillet. Sauté the mushrooms, green pepper, onion, and garlic in butter/oil mixture until tender.
• 2. Flatten the chicken, if desired; sprinkle with desired seasonings.
• 3. Place the chicken into the pan.
• 4. Cover with the vegetables and let simmer until chicken is cooked through.
• 5. Note: You can also remove the vegetables while you're cooking the chicken and then when chicken is done, simply throw everything back onto the tops of chicken breasts. The choice is yours.
• 6. Add shredded cheese or large slices of cheese.
• 7. Cover with lid just long enough to melt cheese down through the vegetables and onto the chicken. (My favorite cheese to use is the pepper jack... mmm!)
• 8. Makes 6 servings. Do not freeze.
• 9. Serve with your favorite sides. Hint: To make this a little less fattening, try grilling your chicken on the outdoor grill and saute your vegetables in fry pan on top of stove as in recipe. Then continue with rest of recipe.
