Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.

Step 4: Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, then sprinkle 1 cup (100 g) grated cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken and mushrooms.
Step 5: Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and golden. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
