Talk about a winner, winner chicken dinner! This is one of the easiest oven-baked chicken dishes I’ve ever made. Lightly breaded chicken breasts baked with a slice of muenster cheese (or two if you like it reaaaal cheesy) and a pile of sliced mushrooms on top.
If you’re not familiar with muenster cheese (because I’ll be honest–I hadn’t even tasted it until a few years ago) it’s comparable to both white american cheese and sharp jack cheese, and is really smooth in texture (thanks wiki–all I knew what that is tasted good!) I don’t use it often, but apparently it melts easily and is therefore perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches, cheeseburgers, quesadillas, etc.
I do know it’s definitely delicious melted over chicken as well. With juicy, savory mushrooms on top to boot. (Remember how used to hate mushrooms? Totally digging them now!)
Enjoy!
