DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Marinate chicken in Italian Dressing and Greek Seasoning, if using, for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Place chicken in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle top with additional Greek seasoning, if desired, and bake in preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
Shortly before chicken is done, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling. Pour in wine, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic salt, and bring to a boil. Stir in mushrooms. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until mushrooms are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.
Remove chicken from the oven. Lay green chili slices on top of each breast, then top each chili with a slice of cheese. Return to the oven until cheese has melted.
Remove chicken from the oven, top with mushrooms and their pan juices, and serve.

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.

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.

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.
