Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat an oven-proof casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

02

Step
5 mins

In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and seasoned bread crumbs. Dredge each chicken breast half in the mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.

03

Step
10 mins

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Introduce the sliced portobello mushrooms, chopped parsley, and ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.

04

Step
1 mins

Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared casserole dish in a single layer. Spoon the mushroom mixture evenly over each chicken breast. Top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese.

05

Step
25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear, and the mozzarella is melted and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the mushroom mixture while cooking.
Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be substituted for parsley to create a unique flavor profile.
If you don't have portobello mushrooms on hand, cremini or button mushrooms will also work well.
Ensure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking. If necessary, pound them lightly with a meat mallet.

    Make sure not to overcook the chicken; it can get dry.
