Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or butter.
  2. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create six thinner cutlets. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet. Cook the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  4. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the cremini mushrooms for about 5 minutes until tender.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour to form a roux, then whisk in dry sherry and heavy cream to create the sauce.
  6. Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and mushrooms, and arrange slices of muenster cheese on top.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes until cheese is browned.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to deepen.
