Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Season the Chicken
   Rub chicken breasts with olive oil. Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.

3. Sear the Chicken
   Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. (It doesn’t need to be fully cooked yet.)
   Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

4. Prepare the Mushroom-Onion Topping
   In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and onions. Cook 4–5 minutes until softened.

5. Add Broth & Simmer
   Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly reduced.
   Spoon this mixture evenly over the chicken in the baking dish.

6. Add Cheese & Bake
   Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese generously over each chicken breast.
   Bake uncovered for 15–18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve
   Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, green beans, rice, or your favorite sides.
