For the Chicken
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- For the Portobello Mushroom Sauce
- 2 cups sliced portobello mushrooms
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water only if you prefer thicker sauce
For Topping
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded jack cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Step 1: Marinate Your Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Coat your chicken breasts well and let them sit for at least 20 minutes. If you have the time, an hour is even better.
You want those flavors to sink in so the chicken stays juicy on the grill.
Step 2: Grill the Chicken
Heat up your grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Add a little oil so the chicken does not stick. Grill each breast for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. You want it nicely charred with light grill marks.
You can use a thermometer. 165°F is perfect.
Place grilled chicken aside.
Step 3: Make the Portobello Mushroom Sauce
In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil. Add onions and sauté until soft. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add your sliced portobello mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and soften.
Pour in the broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. If you want the sauce thicker, stir in the cornstarch mixture and simmer for 2 more minutes.
The sauce should be creamy, earthy, and rich.
Step 4: Assemble the Dish
Place the grilled chicken breasts in a baking dish or keep them on the skillet. Sprinkle jack cheese generously over the top. Pour some of the mushroom sauce over the chicken, then add another thin layer of cheese.
Cover for a minute so the cheese melts, or pop it into the oven for 2 minutes to melt everything beautifully.
