Ingredients:

2 boneless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian dressing
1 sweet yellow onion
8 oz mushrooms
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions:

Place the boneless chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the Italian dressing over the chicken, making sure they are completely coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse into the chicken.
Slice the sweet yellow onion into rings and set aside.
Clean the mushrooms and slice them into even pieces.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Drizzle some olive oil over the sliced vegetables and toss them to coat evenly.
Place the marinated chicken breasts and the oiled vegetables on the grill.
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Grill the vegetables for approximately 5-7 minutes until they become tender and slightly charred, stirring occasionally.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute.
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
On a baking sheet, place the grilled chicken breasts side by side.
Top each chicken breast with a generous amount of the grilled onions and mushrooms.
Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the vegetables and chicken.
Place the baking sheet with the smothered chicken under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Carefully transfer the smothered chicken to serving plates.
Serve the Texas Roadhouse Smothered Chicken with Jack Cheese alongside your favorite side dishes, such as garlic mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad.
