Mozzarella Mushroom Chicken Recipes

20-MINUTE SKILLET MUSHROOM CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees F. You will use it to keep the chicken warm.
• Cut chicken breasts in halves the horizontal way to make thinner chicken cutlets. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Combine oregano, paprika, and coriander in a small bowl. Season the chicken with the spice mixture on both sides.
• In a large skillet heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil until shimmering but not smoking. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then turn over and cook for another 3 minutes or so. To check for doneness, cut into a piece with a thin-bladed knife and take a peek. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof platter and put it in the oven.
• In the same skillet, now add a tiny bit more extra virgin olive oil. Add ghee and melt. Sautee the mushrooms for 5 minutes. Add broth, green onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Add the chicken back to the pan, spoon some of the sauce on top. Serve immediately.

MOZZARELLA CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven on the broiler setting with oven rack on the top shelf (the oven is used to melt and brown the cheese, if you don't want to turn on the oven, you can melt the cheese by covering the pan with a lid and cooking the dish until the cheese is melted but I think browning the cheese under the broiler adds a little bit more flavor).
• Cook the pasta al dente (it should have a bite to it).
• Cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch (5mm) slices.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally (parallel to your cutting board) so you have 4 thinner cutlets. If there are parts of the meat that are still very thick, pound them slightly with a meat mallet. You want the meat to be of even thickness, but don't pound the meat very thin, like for breaded chicken cutlets.
• Rub the chicken on both sides with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a oven-proof large frying pan (if you don't have such pan, you can use any pan and then transfer the chicken to a baking dish, such as pie dish). Add the mushrooms and cook them over medium-high heat until browned and soft. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
• Add the chicken to the pan. Cook it over high heat until browned on both sides. You want the chicken almost cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Spread 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce in the pan (or in an oven-safe baking dish), place the chicken on top. Top the chicken with sauteed mushrooms and shredded cheese.
• Bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned (keep an eye on the cheese, it can brown very quickly!).
• Serve the chicken with cooked pasta and some extra marinara sauce.
• Enjoy!

BAKED MUSHROOM CHICKEN
