Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Choose thighs for a richer flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking.
  • 1 tablespoon butter Adds richness.

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Add them to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet for flavor.
  5. If using, add the heavy cream and mix well.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Drizzle some balsamic glaze for extra flavor enhancement. Customize by adding different cheeses or spices to suit your taste. Serve with a fresh green salad for added crunch and nutrition.
