Smothered Chicken with Mushrooms and Swiss Cheese
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Topping:
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 slices Swiss cheese
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Season and Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Toppings: In the same skillet, melt butter and add the onions. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened, then add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Make the Sauce: Pour in chicken broth and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced.
Smother the Chicken: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the onion and mushroom mixture over them. Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese.
Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with green beans, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
