Baked Mushroom Chicken

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f.

Step 2

Spray or brush a 9 x 13 baking dish with avocado oil.

Step 3

If your chicken breasts are thick, then slice them in half right down the center to create nice thin breasts so they cook evenly.

Step 4

Season the chicken with sea salt and pepper on both sides and add the flour to a shallow dish.

Step 5

Lightly coat your chicken on all sides with flour.

Step 6

Melt 1 Tablespoon of your ghee/butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the chicken in 2 separate batches and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown then flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of butter for your second batch.

Step 7

Transfer your golden brown chicken to your prepared baking dish.

Step 8

In the same preheated skillet add in your mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Step 10

In a small bowl whisk the stock/broth together with 1 Tablespoon of flour until there are no visible lumps.

Step 11

Pour this stock mixture into your skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring to remove any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 12

Pour this mushroom sauce over the chicken in the baking dish then sprinklewith cheese.

Step 13

Bake for 15-17 minutes, or just until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
