smothered chicken

ok, this one is not so healthy but it was really good!  i don't have a link but here's what i did.

i made a lot of changes too so read through that for alternate ideas.

smothered chicken

3 cups of sliced fresh or canned mushrooms

2 sweet onions sliced

2 gloves of garlic

1 tbs butter

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

2 eggs, beaten

1 c seasoned bread crumbs

2 tbs butter

3 c shredded mozzarella cheese

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

3/4 c chicken broth

salt and pepper

in a cast iron skillet, saute mushrooms and onions with garlic and butter until tender.  remove. dip salt & peppered chicken in eggs and bread crumbs.  brown chicken on both sides in melted butter.  cover with onions/mushrooms and top with cheese.  stir together soup and broth and pour on top.  bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until chicken is no longer pink.

MY NOTES:

i only used two small cans of mushrooms

i used golden mushroom soup instead of cream - it has a much richer flavor

i did bread the chicken but not sure that adds much, it gets mushy under all that sauce and cheese

if you bread, do flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs

i used MUCH less cheese (maybe 3/4 c) and put it on the very top so it would brown a little

i may have used foil at first so cheese didn't burn

i definitely recommend breasts over thighs - i don't like dealing with hidden bones or skin

you could use oil instead of butter
