This recipe offers a delightful twist on classic BBQ chicken, combining tender chicken breasts with the rich flavors of mushrooms, onions, and a tangy barbecue sauce.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Make sure your oven is fully preheated to ensure even cooking.
Slice the onion thinly and clean the mushrooms.
Uniform slices help the vegetables cook evenly.
In a sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onions until soft and translucent.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from browning too much.
Place the chicken breasts in a casserole dish and season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Ensure the chicken is evenly seasoned for consistent flavor.
Top the chicken with the sautéed onions and mushrooms, then pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the top.
Spread the sauce to cover all the chicken pieces for maximum flavor.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's fully cooked (165°F or 74°C).
Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve warm.
Resting the chicken allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it moist.
