  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Coat both sides of chicken with oregano and cayenne pepper and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine. Cook and stir until vegetables shrink down a bit, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low to low; cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour mushroom mixture on top of chicken. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken and cook until cheese is bubbly, about 5 minutes more.
