Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices of Muenster cheese
  • 6 chicken cutlets approximately 3 pounds
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour divided
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • ½ cup finely minced onion approximately ½ medium onion
  • 8 ounces diced baby bella mushrooms
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic about 3 cloves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by coating it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the flour, then dredge the chicken in the remaining flour to coat evenly.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken cutlets to the skillet, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Do not fully cook the chicken. Transfer the seared cutlets to the prepared baking dish.
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the minced onion and diced mushrooms in the butter, stirring frequently, until softened and aromatic, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle the reserved 3 tablespoons of flour into the skillet, stirring to form a roux-like paste.
  • Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and red wine vinegar, combining thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Lay a slice of Muenster cheese over each cutlet, ensuring full coverage. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil, switch the oven to broil, and broil the dish for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
  • Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Gloria!
