Equipment

  • A large skillet or frying pan
  • A baking dish
  • A meat thermometer (to ensure chicken perfection)
  • Aluminum foil (for keeping the chicken warm)
  • A sharp knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 cup Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup Onions sliced
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • For garnish Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

Preparing the Chicken

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
  • Warm the butter and olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and set aside.

Making the Smothering Sauce

  • In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, and sauté the mushrooms and onions until soft.
  • Stir in the remaining flour mixture to create a roux.
  • Gradually pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  • Add more salt and pepper to taste to the sauce.
  • Bringing It All Together
  • Pour the smothering sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For an even juicier chicken, you can brine the breasts in saltwater for a few hours before cooking.
  • Feel free to customize the dish by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the sauce.
  • To keep the dish low-carb, you can substitute the flour with almond flour or simply omit the flour coating.
