Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This is a crucial first step to ensure your Smothered Cheesy Baked Chicken comes out golden brown and bubbly.
-
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms until they are softened. This should take about 5 minutes, and the tremendous aroma will fill your kitchen.
-
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. A good seasoning will enhance the tremendous flavors of your dish.
-
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the top of the chicken, ensuring every piece of chicken gets a taste of that lovely mushroom flavor.
-
Pour the heavy cream (or cream of mushroom soup) over the chicken and mushrooms. This will provide a rich, creamy base that binds all the flavors together.
-
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Feel free to use a blend of cheeses if you desire. We guarantee the more cheese, the better!
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it, as every oven varies, but you want that tremendous golden crust on top.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
