# Ingredients:
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
1 teaspoon paprika
05 -
Salt and pepper to taste
06 -
1 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons butter

1.5 cups chicken broth
# Instructions:
01 -
Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown without fully cooking.
02 -
Melt butter in the same skillet. Add thinly sliced onions and mushrooms. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 8–10 minutes.
03 -
Sprinkle flour over onions and mushrooms, stirring to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in chicken broth until a smooth gravy forms. Simmer until thickened.
04 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place seared chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spoon onion-mushroom mixture over the chicken, top each with a slice of cheese, and pour gravy over everything. Cover with foil and bake for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
