Creamy Cheddar Mushroom Chicken Bake

This comforting dish features tender chicken breasts baked in a rich, creamy sauce made from cream of mushrooms and cheddar cheese soup, topped with gooey mozzarella. The combination of flavors creates a savory and satisfying meal that's perfect for any dinner table.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can cheddar cheese soup
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cheddar cheese soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish. Pour the creamy soup mixture evenly over the chicken.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. If desired, add breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping.
6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
