Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6–8 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season chicken breasts with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms and onions until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Place chicken in a baking dish, top with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.

Notes
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for juicier meat.
- Adjust the cheese types or amounts to your preference.
