Chicken Georgia
Amazingly easy and delicious chicken breast recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons 1/2 stick butter
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves- about 6-8 oz each either use very small chicken breast or fillet large, thicker ones in half
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms sliced
- 1 small onion chopped
- Salt pepper, and garlic powder to taste for chicken plus about 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper for mushroom mixture (I use about 3/4 to 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1/4 tsp pepper for the chicken)
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- Season both sides of chicken breast with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and pepper. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 min.
- Add chicken, nestle it in the mushroom mixture so it makes contact with the pan. Cook 7-10 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Continue to stir mushrooms occasionally.
- Remove chicken to a platter, sprinkle cheese on chicken and place mushroom mixture on top. Allow to sit a few minutes for cheese to melt. To serve from pan (less dishes)- Once chicken is cooked, sprinkle it with shredded cheese while still in skillet. Turn off heat and let cheese melt.
Notes
This is amazing with a smoked cheese too!
You can always loosely tent the pan with foil once you flip the chicken over- helps make chicken cook through a little quicker and makes the dish a little "saucier" Adapted from Paula Deen
