How to Make Bbq Chicken Mess

  1. **Prepare the Onion and Mushroom Topping:** In a medium pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and brown sugar. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
  3. Add 1-2 tbsp of your favorite BBQ sauce to the onion and mushroom mixture. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Reduce heat to low and set aside.
  5. **Cook the Chicken:** In a large nonstick pan, cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
  6. Pour equal amounts of BBQ sauce over each chicken breast.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. **Assemble and Finish:** Reduce heat to low. Top each chicken breast with the onion and mushroom mixture.
  9. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the pan and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve immediately over a baked potato or your favorite sides.
  11. Enjoy your restaurant-quality BBQ Chicken Mess!
