Description
A delicious chicken dish combining juicy breasts with earthy mushrooms and rich cheese, topped with a hint of sweet honey mustard.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Swiss or provolone recommended)
- 1/3 cup honey mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brine the chicken: In a large bowl, combine water, salt, and optional sugar. Submerge the chicken breasts in the brine and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the brine, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Layer the toppings: Place the seared chicken breasts in a baking dish. Top each with a tablespoon of honey mustard, a quarter of the mushrooms, and an even layer of cheese.
- Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
