  • Marinate chicken in Italian dressing and Greek seasoning in a bowl, at least 30 minutes.

  • Place chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle top with additional Greek seasoning.

  • Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in center and juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling. Pour in wine, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic salt; bring to a boil. Stir in mushrooms; reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Seasoning mixture with salt.

  • Arrange green chili peppers lengthwise and Havarti cheese on top of chicken. Return to the oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Top chicken with mushrooms and pan juices.

My family loves when I make this for dinner. So easy too. I let the chicken thaw out in the fridge in the italian dressing and cook the sauce the night before. Than the night I want to make the dinner throw the chicken in the oven cook up some egg noddles heat up the sauce and dinner is on. Leftovers are great the next day. Perfect everytime. I leave out the peppers because of the kids and the dinner is still delicious. Read More

This dish was very good however it was a bit too salty. The next time I make it I will use unsalted butter and garlic powder instead of garlic salt. You can always add salt to taste but you can't remove it once it has been added. The Havarti is slightly salty as well so this could have added to the problem. Once these adjustments have been made this will be perfect and it's very easy to make as well. Read More

This dish really surprised me. I LOVED the unique flavor the Greek seasoning gave the chicken - you have to use it to get the full effect of this dish! I "googled" for the recipe since I didn't have it in the pantry. I used: salt pepper oregano onion powder garlic powder nutmeg cinnamon and parsley flakes. Also doubled the sauce. Fantastic and different! Thanks for the recipe!! Read More

This sure was a winner in our house! So easy to make. The Havarti cheese was so yummy on the chicken. Great combo of the mushrooms White wine and Worcestershire sauce. We didn't have the Greek seasoning and it still tasted good. We will be sure to have this again for dinner. Read More

This recipe was pretty good. However I did not follow the recipe exactly. I only had chicken tenders - marinated them in italian dressing then grilled them. When I made the mushroom sauce I added onions - tripled the sauce (but only added 1 TBS of worchestershire. Used fresh garlic rather than the garlic salt. When I finished grilling the chicken I put them in the skillet and added the chili peppers and cheese then covered it for a minute. Served with wild rice and broccoli. It was a nice and quick recipe - a little on the salty side though. Read More

I really enjoyed this dish (although I did omit the chili peppers because I didn't have any on hand.). It had a really unique taste. A very fast easy to prepare main course--I think this would really impress guests at a dinner party. I did find it a bit salty so next time I wouldn't add any additional salt and would use garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Also this dish is quite rich so make sure you go with light side dishes.

This was a good dish. The Havarti cheese gave it a nice flavor. I used only 1 can of green chilies and that was enough for us on 4 chicken breasts. Read More
