A delightful baked chicken dish featuring mushrooms and cheese, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking throughout the dish.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Beating the eggs thoroughly helps coat the chicken evenly.
Place the bread crumbs in a large resealable plastic bag.
Using a bag makes coating the chicken less messy.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then place it in the bag with bread crumbs and shake to coat evenly.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated for a crispy texture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the coated chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Searing locks in the juices and adds flavor.
Transfer the chicken to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Top the chicken with sliced mushrooms and shredded muenster cheese.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the baked chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the best texture and flavor.
