Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Smothered Chicken Texas Roadhouse
- In a resealable bag, combine boneless, skinless chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, seasoned salt, and ground black pepper. Shake vigorously to ensure the chicken is well-coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
- In the same skillet, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and diced white onion, seasoning them with a pinch of salt. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are golden, about 5–7 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the sizzling mushrooms and onions. Generously sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid, allowing the cheese to melt for about 2–3 minutes.
- Carefully place the smothered chicken onto plates, using a spatula to transfer it gently. Top each portion with the sautéed mushrooms and onions.
