How to Make Baked Chicken And Mushrooms

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle chicken generously with 1 teaspoon paprika.
  4. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
  5. While chicken is baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and saute for 5 minutes, until softened.
  7. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  9. Pour the mushroom mixture over the partially baked chicken.
  10. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Top with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  12. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
