How do you make Mushroom Chicken?

How to know when chicken is done cooking?
- Thaw frozen chicken slowly in your refrigerator, or thaw it faster by putting it in a leak-proof package or plastic bag and submerging in cold tap water.
- Bake chicken breast in an oven proof dish at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside..
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celcius).
Do you cover baked chicken with foil?
You don’t have to cover this baked mushroom chicken dish with foil. But I do cover most baked chicken with foil. Because the chicken is thinly sliced and you brown it on each side before, it takes a shorter amount of time to cook. If the chicken is thicker and takes longer to cook, the aluminum foil helps seal in the moisture and cook the chicken evenly.
