Ingredients
•
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
•
1 teaspoon dried oregano
•
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1 tablespoon butter
•
1 (8 ounce) package chopped white mushrooms
•
1/4 cup chopped white onion
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1 splash red wine
•
1 pinch salt and cracked black pepper to taste
•
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Coat both sides of chicken with oregano and cayenne pepper and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper.
3
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine. Cook and stir until vegetables shrink down a bit, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low to low; cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
5
Pour mushroom mixture on top of chicken. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
6
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken and cook until cheese is bubbly, about 5 minutes more.
