Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts tender and juicy
- 1 cup flour light and airy
- 1 tsp salt enhancing the flavors
- 1 tsp black pepper adding a subtle kick
- 2 large eggs rich and binding
- 1 cup breadcrumbs for a satisfying crunch
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese nutty and aromatic
- 2 tbsp olive oil fruity and fragrant
- 4 cloves garlic minced, to infuse the dish with warmth
- 1 cup heavy cream rich and velvety
- 1 cup chicken broth flavorful and savory
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese gooey and melty
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for a pop of color and freshness
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you gather your ingredients.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess, and then dip them into the beaten eggs.
- Coat with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese and press gently to adhere.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sizzle for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, top with grated mozzarella, and melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For a healthier alternative, consider using chicken thighs or Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
