Chicken Breasts with Portobello Mushrooms
Description
Chicken breasts are coated in a Parmesan-bread crumb mixture before they're topped with mushrooms and mozzarella and baked in the oven in this quick and easy recipe.
Ingredients
•
nonstick cooking spray
•
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
•
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
•
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 small shallot, chopped
•
4 portobello mushrooms, sliced
•
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
4 thin slices mozzarella cheese
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray an oven-proof casserole dish with cooking spray.
2
Mix Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together in a shallow dish or on waxed paper. Press mixture into both sides of chicken breasts.
3
Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, parsley, and pepper. Cook, turning once, for 5 minutes.
4
Arrange chicken flat into the prepared casserole dish. Top with the mushroom mixture, divided evenly over each piece. Arrange slices of mozzarella cheese on top.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a fork can be inserted into the chicken breasts with ease and they are no longer pink in the centers, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
