Creating Texas Roadhouse Smothered Chicken is a delightful process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Sear the Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping any browned bits from the skillet. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
6. Add Cheese: Top each chicken breast with a mixture of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
7. Bake in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top, and serve warm.
With these easy steps, your Texas Roadhouse Smothered Chicken will come out deliciously every time.
