How to Make Baked Chicken In Mushroom Sauce

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Gently pound chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch).
Place 1/2 cup of flour on a plate. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge each breast in the flour, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Melt margarine in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in sherry (if using).
Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup flour, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk until the sauce slightly thickens.
Reduce the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency, about half the original volume.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over each breast.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese over the chicken, followed by the green onions.
Top with the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
