Texas Smothered Chicken (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 big chicken breasts.
02 -
1/4 pound of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
03 -
1 tablespoon butter, plus more if necessary.
04 -
1 teaspoon flavored salt.
05 -
A medium onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds.
06 -
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.
07 -
A half-pound of sliced button mushrooms.
08 -
Add a pinch of salt to your liking.
# Instructions:
01 -
Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally. Wrap in plastic and softly pound. Sprinkle seasoning on both sides.
02 -
Over medium-low heat, melt your butter with a sprinkle of salt. Toss in onions; cook for a few minutes. Add mushrooms, letting them brown for about 3-4 minutes. Take the mixture off the heat.
03 -
Add more butter to the pan if needed. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on one side. Flip it, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
04 -
Pile the cooked vegetables on the chicken. Sprinkle on cheese and let it melt before serving right away.
# Notes:
01 -
Don’t put too much chicken in the pan at once—give each piece space. If too thick, press chicken to even size for cooking. Best served hot to enjoy the melty cheese.
