Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. In another bowl, mix Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
4. Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and coat with the Parmesan-panko mixture. Press gently to help it stick.
5. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Transfer chicken to a baking dish and bake for 15–20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. In the same skillet, combine heavy cream and chicken broth. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
8. Remove from heat, stir in mozzarella cheese, and drizzle the sauce over chicken before serving.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for richer flavor.
Double-dredge chicken for a thicker crust.
Make the sauce ahead of time and store for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a mild spicy twist.
