Easy Smothered Chicken
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- Texas Roadhouse Steak Sauce or Gold Sauce
- 1/2 tsp each salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- Oil or butter
- 1 onion sliced
- 8 oz Sliced Mushrooms (optional)
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder
- 4 pieces of bacon
- 1 cup Shredded Colby Jack Cheese
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them thinner. Add the chicken to a container or a bowl. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Add 1 tbsp minced garlic and pour about 1/2 cup of Texas Roadhouse Gold Sauce or Classic Steak sauce over the chicken.
- Let the chicken sit in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours covered.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium low heat and add some oil or butter. Add the chicken, bacon, sliced onion, and mushrooms (if using) to the griddle.
- Season the onions and mushrooms (if using) with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Let the chicken cook on both sides until it is golden brown and reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees F.
- Top the cooked chicken with onions, mushrooms (if using), Colby Jack cheese and some crumbled bacon.
- Cover the smothered chicken with a griddle dome until the cheese melts and serve! Enjoy!
Notes
- Always cook chicken until it reaches at least 165 degrees with an internal meat thermometer.
- I used shredded Colby Jack cheese, but shredded cheddar, or even pepper jack cheese would be good on the chicken.
- If you don’t have a griddle, you can make the smothered chicken in a skillet on the stove.
- I like using the Texas Roadhouse Classic Steak Sauce or the Gold Sauce, but any brand of steak sauce should work as a marinade.
- Sliced mushrooms are a great addition to this recipe, but if you don't have them it's still good without them.
