Juicy, pan-seared chicken breasts are topped with caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and gooey melted cheese for a hearty, flavorful meal. Perfect for weeknights or a cozy weekend dinner, this easy skillet recipe delivers steakhouse flavor with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  4. Return chicken to the pan. Spoon onions and mushrooms over the top, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap Monterey Jack with pepper jack or provolone for a different flavor.
  • Bell peppers or spinach work as great substitutes for mushrooms.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce to onions for an umami boost.
  • Works great with chicken thighs—just adjust cooking time.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, roasted veggies, or a green salad.
