Ingredients
  

Marinade and Chicken
  • 1.5-2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 0.5 cup Italian dressing
Cooking Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced)
  • 0.5 cup yellow onion (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp water approximately
  • 0.25 tsp white pepper
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 oz Monterey Jack cheese (sliced)

Equipment

  • cast-iron skillet
  • gallon sized ziploc bag

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Place chicken breasts on a plate or cutting board. Using a jacquard tool or fork, poke several holes in the meat.
  2. Place chicken in a dish or a gallon sized ziploc bag. Pour Italian dressing over top, coating chicken. Place in the fridge and let chicken sit in the marinade for 2 to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  4. Heat cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to pan and then carefully place chicken breasts in. Cook for approximately 5 minutes to thoroughly brown, not moving.
  5. Flip chicken breasts and repeat on the other side. Remove to a clean plate.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and add butter. Add sliced mushrooms and onions, sautéing until both are softened and fragrant, around 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add water and scrape up all of the bits on the bottom of the pan.
  8. Add spices and stir. Move mushrooms and onions to the side of the skillet and place chicken breasts back into the skillet.
  9. Carefully scoop mushroom-onion mixture over top, splitting it between the two pieces of chicken.
  10. Top with cheese slices and place in preheated oven. Cook for 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and starting to brown.

For added flavor, you can experiment with different types of cheese or marinades. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat in the oven to maintain juiciness.
