Cooking

Sauté the Mushrooms
In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and fresh thyme. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Chicken
In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Add the Cheese
Once the chicken is cooked through, lower the heat and place the sautéed mushrooms evenly on top of each chicken breast. Slice the smoked mozzarella cheese and place a slice on each chicken breast. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
