Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

  3. Cook Chicken:
    • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
    • Add the chicken breasts; cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  4. Assemble and Melt Cheese:
    • Reduce heat to low.
    • Top each chicken breast with the sautéed mushrooms and onions.
    • Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the toppings.
    • Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese melts.

    • Remove from heat and serve hot.
    • Pair with mashed potatoes, seasoned rice, or steamed vegetables.
