Inspired by Texas Roadhouse, this smothered chicken is seared to golden perfection and topped with caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, melted cheese, and rich homemade gravy. A hearty, flavorful meal perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6–8 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and add onions and mushrooms. Cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Whisk flour into the skillet drippings and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and simmer until thickened, 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet. Top each piece with onions, mushrooms, and shredded cheese.
  6. Cover skillet until cheese melts. Drizzle with gravy and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Swap Monterey Jack with provolone or Swiss for variety.
  • Skip the gravy for a lighter version.
  • Add a splash of white wine while cooking mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Grill chicken instead of pan-searing for a smokier taste.
  • Use xanthan gum instead of flour for a low-carb version.
