Description
Texas Roadhouse Smothered Chicken with Jack Cheese is a comforting, flavorful dish featuring juicy grilled chicken breasts topped with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and melted Monterey Jack cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded or sliced
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth or water (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and add sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté until soft and golden, about 8–10 minutes. Add a splash of chicken broth if desired.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Top each with the mushroom-onion mixture.
- Sprinkle or layer Monterey Jack cheese on each chicken breast. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2–3 minutes.
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Try provolone or mozzarella for different cheese flavors.
- Add Worcestershire sauce to mushrooms and onions for extra depth.
- Use jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Serve with salad or cauliflower rice for a low-carb meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
