Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2: Brown the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the browned chicken to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender and browned.
Scatter the cooked mushrooms over the chicken in the baking dish.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Stir until smooth and combined.

Step 5: Assemble and Bake

Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken and mushrooms.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella (or Swiss) cheese generously over the top.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Let the dish cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color before serving.

Notes

Dredge Lightly – A thin flour coating adds body without making the dish heavy.
Brown the Chicken – Adds flavor and locks in moisture.
Use Fresh Mushrooms – They add a savory, earthy note that canned mushrooms can’t match.
Cheese Choice – Mozzarella melts beautifully; Swiss cheese adds a nutty richness.
Don’t Overcook – Use a meat thermometer and cook chicken to 165°F for perfect juiciness.
