BAKED CHEESY MUSHROOM
CAESAR CHICKEN
Sometimes we want an easy but super-tasty recipe at the same time. This recipe is so easy that it is practically effortless, and did I mention absolutely delicious! This meal is very flavorful and rich-tasting. This is a recipe I will return to as a result, and that says a lot, as I am constantly having to create new recipes for my blog and Facebook.
The chicken is seasoned using your favorite seasoning salt. I used Hy's seasoning salt that I discovered in Canada.
Monterey Jack cheese is lovely in this recipe. You can probably change that up with Mozzarella cheese, if desired.
If you are not a mushroom lover, you can leave the mushrooms out and maybe cook up some caramelized onions to stir into the Caesar Dressing, or simply leave it plain. Either way it will work.
This chicken is incredibly tender and no need to first brown in a skillet....Just cover with the dressing mixed with mushrooms and cheese and then topped with more cheese.
This is an extra creamy dish as the dressing has sour cream in it. That is always a quick way to add creaminess to a dish. The flavors of this dish are rich and satisfying.
