In the same skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter.Add the sliced mushrooms and onions. Season with a pinch of salt.Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent.
Assemble the Dish
Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet with the mushrooms and onions.Top each chicken breast with a generous amount of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt over the chicken (about 2-3 minutes).
