Place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each cooked chicken breast. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.

Top the melted cheese-covered chicken breasts with the sautéed onions and mushrooms. Let it sit in the skillet for another 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors. Serve immediately.
