This is an easy mozzarella chicken recipe. Chicken breast halves are cooked in butter then broiled with a topping of mushrooms and cheese.

It's a fabulous entree to make for a special dinner, but it's easy enough for an everyday family meal.

Feel free to use a mixture of mushroom varieties to make this simple meal extra-special. Serve with a tossed salad and ​baked potatoes or rice pilaf.
