Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you bake chicken with mushrooms and cheese? Gather the ingredients. You can use any mushrooms—wild ones, oyster mushrooms, pickled button mushrooms, and so on. I'll be using fresh button mushrooms. Choose whatever cheese you like.
Step 2:

Any oven-safe dish works for baking; I'll use a ceramic one. Grease the dish with vegetable oil and lay the cut chicken fillet in it in a single layer. Salt it lightly and bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.
Step 3:

Peel and finely chop the onion. Rinse the mushrooms under running water to clean them, then cut them into slices or cubes. Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot skillet and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Then add the mushrooms and cook them with the onion for 5–7 minutes. Season with a little salt and spices.
Step 4:

Take the dish of chicken out of the oven and spread the sautéed mushrooms and onion over the chicken in an even layer.
Step 5:

Spread sour cream over the whole surface.
Step 6:

Sprinkle everything generously with grated cheese. Put the dish back in the oven for another 20 minutes or so.
Step 7:

In that time the chicken and mushrooms finish cooking through. A little juice from the sour cream will collect in the dish, and the cheese on top will melt completely and brown slightly. Spoon it onto plates and serve hot, alongside some fresh vegetables. Enjoy!

Everyone's oven is different, so your temperature and cooking time may vary from what's listed. For any baked dish to succeed, get familiar with how your particular oven behaves!
You can swap the chicken for turkey or any other meat you like. Just keep in mind that the cooking time and calorie count will change.
Any cheese works here—hard, semi-hard, or soft like mozzarella. The main thing is that it's tasty, good quality, free of milk-fat substitutes, and melts well.
