Ingredients

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• nonstick cooking spray
• ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 small shallot, chopped
• 4 portobello mushrooms, sliced
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, halved
• 4 thin slices mozzarella cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Mix Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together in a shallow dish or on waxed paper. Press mixture into both sides of chicken breasts.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, parsley, and pepper. Cook, turning once, for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Arrange chicken flat into the prepared casserole dish. Top with the mushroom mixture, divided evenly over each piece. Arrange slices of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a fork can be inserted into the chicken breasts with ease and they are no longer pink in the centers, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
