Ingredients
  

Chicken and Toppings

  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded

Instructions
 

Preparation Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides. Let them marinate for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add a bit more butter if needed and place the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can check doneness with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (75°C).
  • Once the chicken is cooked, layer the sautéed vegetables on top of each breast. Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese generously over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Once done, remove from the oven, let it cool for a minute, and serve hot.

Notes

Enjoy your cheesy, smothered chicken with your favorite sides!
