Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter plus extra if needed
  • 1 medium onion cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • salt
  • 1/2 pound button mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese shredded

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Meat mallet

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally. Place each half between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until the chicken is of a uniform thickness.
  2. Season the chicken with seasoned salt and ground black pepper.
  3. Place the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the butter is hot, add the onions along with a two-finger pinch of salt. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the mushrooms begin to brown. Remove the mushrooms and onions from the skillet.
  5. If the skillet is dry, add a teaspoon of butter. Then place the chicken breasts into the hot skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook the chicken in batches depending on the size of the skillet.
  6. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.
  7. Top the chicken with the onions, mushrooms, and Monterey Jack cheese. Turn off the stove when the cheese has melted and serve.
