Instructions
Making Irresistible Texas Roadhouse Smothered Chicken with Jack Cheese is straightforward. Follow these steps for the best results:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the Chicken: Lightly season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Add Onions and Mushrooms: Once both sides are seared, add the diced onions and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
5. Add Ranch Dressing: Pour ranch dressing over the chicken, making sure to cover it evenly. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Top with Cheese and Bacon: After simmering, sprinkle the shredded Jack cheese and crumbled bacon on top of each chicken breast. Transfer the skillet (if oven-safe) directly into the preheated oven, or move the chicken to a baking dish.
7. Bake: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
