Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, halved lengthwise)
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup diced sweet onion
  • 6 slices Muenster cheese
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and dried thyme; cook for 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
  5. Whisk in chicken broth and whipping cream; cook until sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and coat with sauce.
  6. Transfer everything to a baking dish. Layer Muenster cheese slices over the chicken and sauce.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite side.
