Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Chicken with Mushrooms and Mozzarella.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
Next, take half of your sliced mushrooms and spread them evenly across a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating a flavorful base.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, beat a few eggs until they’re nice and frothy.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, pour in some seasoned bread crumbs, ready to give your chicken that perfect crunch.
Step 5
Now, take each chicken breast and dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it’s fully coated.
Step 6
Then, roll it in the bread crumbs, ensuring it’s well covered for that delightful texture.
Step 7
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt some butter until it’s bubbly and inviting.
Step 8
Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet, letting them sizzle and brown for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Step 9
Once they’re beautifully golden, transfer the chicken to the baking dish, placing it right on top of the mushrooms.
Step 10
Layer the remaining mushrooms over the chicken, and don’t forget to crown it all with slices of gooey mozzarella cheese for that irresistible melty goodness.
Step 11
Now, pour chicken broth around the chicken in the baking dish, adding moisture and flavor to the mix.
Step 12
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
Step 13
You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 14
For peace of mind, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 15
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll be counting down the minutes until you can enjoy this comforting dish!.
