Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, halved horizontally
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella
½ cup Alfredo sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Season the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
-
Bread the Chicken: Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, then dip them into the beaten egg. Coat the chicken with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
-
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
-
Bake the Chicken: Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish. Spoon Alfredo sauce over each chicken breast and top with shredded provolone or mozzarella.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
-
Variations: Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or other veggies on top for an extra flavor boost.
