Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 4 slices Provolone cheese slices
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom mixture.

Step 9

Top each chicken breast with a slice of provolone cheese.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve hot.
