Chicken Mozzarella - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine, divided
1 (1 1/2 lb) package boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (8 ounce) carton fresh mushrooms
3 -4 green onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 slices mozzarella cheese
2 garlic cloves

Preparation

Melt 4 tablespoons butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
Rinse chicken pieces with cold water and pat dry.
When butter has melted and begun to sizzle slightly, add chicken to skillet.
Cook chicken approximately 10 minutes, until nicely-browned.
Meanwhile, rinse and trim onions; slice thinly, including some green \"tops\".
Clean mushrooms and remove stems; slice caps.
When chicken is browned on the outside and appears to be cooked approximately halfway through, turn the pieces over and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
Add mushrooms and onions to skillet, along with additional butter if necessary.
(Note: The original recipe did not call for extra, but I sometimes have to add a tablespoon or two so that the veggies will saute properly instead of sticking). Cook approximately 10 additional minutes, until chicken is thoroughly done.
Place a slice of cheese on each piece of chicken.
Remove to a platter and cover with foil.
Allow chicken to sit about 5 minutes until cheese melts.
Spoon mushroom mixture over chicken before serving.
