Mozzarella Mushroom Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the tomatoes, chili powder, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt with 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, shred it and return it to the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are dry, about 4 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a small bowl.
• Lay 1 tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup mozzarella. Add a quarter of the shredded chicken and sauce, and a quarter of the mushrooms. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook one of the quesadillas, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
• Sprinkle the quesadillas with chopped scallions and serve with guacamole, sour cream and salsa if using.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place 2 cups of the mushrooms in a 13x9 inch baking dish.
• Dip chicken breasts into beaten eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
• Heat butter or olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
• Brown chicken (approximately 2 minutes per side) in skillet. Place browned chicken in baking dish, on top of mushrooms. Sprinkle remaining mushrooms on top of chicken, then top evenly with mozzarella. Pour broth in pan around chicken.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in the skillet, and season with garlic powder and onion powder. Cook until juices run clear. Set chicken aside, and keep warm.
• Stir mushrooms and onions into the skillet, and cook until tender. Return chicken to skillet, layer with mushroom and onions, and top with cheese. Cover skillet, and continue cooking 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
