Gruyere Chicken with Mushrooms


My mouth is watering just thinking about this dinner. Creamy melted Gruyere cheese coats juicy chicken in a rich broth with mushrooms and onions. And the best part? The prep is maybe 15 minutes and then it bakes in the oven.


Really - it's that simple. Brown your chicken and then saute the onions and mushrooms and make the wine sauce. Transfer it all to a baking dish and let the oven do the work. Top it all with some cheese for the last 10 minutes and it is done. You will want some pasta or bread to sop up all the sauce in the pan!

  • Cover the chicken with the cheese return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, lightly browned and bubbly.
