Paula’s Chicken Georgia

This recipe is from Paula Deen’s “Say Cheese” show, but I think that it’s also a good dish for her quick-fix show. Rachael Ray might also think about stealing this one! This is really easy, so delicious, and super-fast (quicker than 30 minutes). I have made this a couple times now and I’ve changed the recipe a little for my taste.

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 tablespoons shallots (a sweet yellow onion works fine too)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 ounces grated mozzarella cheese

– Season chicken well with salt and pepper
– Melt butter over medium heat in large skillet.
– Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic.
– Cook 10 minutes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
– Move mushroom mixture out to the sides of the skillet and add chicken to the center.
– Cook chicken 8-10 minutes on each side, or until tender.
– Transfer chicken to platter and sprinkle with grated cheese.
– Top with mushroom mixture and let stand 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

Linda’s Notes:
– This recipe is really good with pork chops as well
– The garlic is optional and can be substituted with garlic powder
– Adding some rosemary or thyme could also be a nice variation

(here I decided to chop the chicken coarsely and serve with pasta)
