Chicken Monterey Recipe
Chicken Monterey
----------------
1/2 cup butter, divided
1/2 cup chopped onion
8 large mushrooms, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2 Melt 1/4 cup butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, mushrooms and garlic.
Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons flour, chicken stock, celery salt,
white pepper and white wine. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened
and well blended, about 10 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese into the thickened sauce mixture,
and stir until melted.
3 In a shallow medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken breast halves in the flour mixture to coat. Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned on all sides. Arrange breast halves in the prepared baking dish, and cover with the sauce.
4 Top chicken breast halves with remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
