Oven Baked Chicken With Mushrooms

 This chicken with mushroom recipe is one of our favorites to make. It doesn't take a lot of time to prepare, either. It is perfect for people who work and then come home to prepare supper.  The chicken breasts stay juicy, and baking them instead of frying them in oil gives you a healthy alternative.

Ingredients

6 chicken breast halves
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp. paprika
1 (6 oz.) can mushrooms, drained
1 Tbs. butter
1/2 c. chicken broth
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

 Preheat oven to 350°.  Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and paprika.  Place in the baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium low heat.  Add the onions and garlic. Stirring frequently, sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes until they are tender and browned.  

Pour in the chicken stock and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper as needed.  Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, so the vegetables don't burn. Remove from heat and pour over the chicken.

Bake for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until chicken tests done with an internal temperature of 165°.

Sprinkle the top with cheese and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. 

Serve with mashed potatoes, or broccoli or any vegetable of your choice.
