Mozzarella Mushroom Chicken


Did someone say mushrooms? And cheese? If you haven't gathered by now, these are two ingredients we love. So, when I saw this recipe from Summer, I knew we'd have a winner. It went together in a few minutes, and the chicken was moist and deliciously seasoned.

Mozzarella Mushroom Chicken - Modified from Summer

1-2 T olive oil
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1-2 tablespoon garlic powder
2-4 clove garlic, minced
8oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 C shredded mozzarella cheese (we used an Italian blend)


Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in the skillet, and season with garlic powder and garlic. Cook 12 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.

Meanwhile, in another pan, saute mushrooms in garlic, until just about "done".

Then, stir mushrooms into the skillet to finish cooking.

Layer mushrooms on chicken and top with cheese. Cover, and cook an additional 5 minutes or so until cheese is melted.
Serve with rice and veggies!
