• Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Transfer to a lined baking tray and cover with foil.
• Add the mushrooms and spring onions to the frying pan and cook for 2 minutes or until the spring onion is soft.
• Add the cream and brandy and bring to the boil.

• Spoon the sauce over the chicken and top with the cheese.
• Place under a hot grill until cheese melts and begins to brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a shallow dish, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, parsley, and dill. Rinse chicken breasts, and pat dry. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Place chicken into the hot buttered skillet, and fry until brown on both sides. Transfer chicken breasts to a 1 quart glass baking dish. Add remaining butter to skillet, and fry the mushrooms and onion until wilted and lightly browned. Stir in the white wine, and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 3 minutes to blend flavors. Pour the mushroom mixture over the chicken in the dish.
• Cover dish, and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. After 20 minutes, remove cover, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Continue baking for 10 more minutes, or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly.
