Mushroom Chicken Bake

1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
4 slices of provolone or muenster cheese
1-2 small cans of mushrooms, sliced or pieces
4 (5 oz portions) chicken breasts
1/2 cup chicken stock (or use bouillon and water)
oil as needed

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place bread crumbs in a bowl. Place egg in another bowl, beat it. Dip the pieces of chicken into the egg and then into the bread crumbs. In a skillet, heat about 1-2 tbsps oil on medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts on each side for about one minute. The bread crumbs will be golden brown. (Do not continue to fry the chicken in burnt bread crumbs, wipe out the crumbs before you continue with the next piece of chicken.) Place the chicken in
a 9x13 pan. Place a generous amount of mushrooms over each chicken breast. Place a slice of cheese over each mushroom-covered chicken breast. Bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, pour chicken broth over the chicken breasts and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Serves 4.

I love this recipe. I use it when I am in a bind and can't think of anything else to cook. It usually always tastes great!

Without a doubt, this is a fail proof recipe that I love sooo much! It makes a novice jr. cook like me appear to be a refined spectacular culinary grad! Oh yeah!
