Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, then coat in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.
- While chicken bakes, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add heavy cream and simmer gently for 3–4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
- Serve the baked chicken hot, topped with creamy Alfredo sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Notes
Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
Serve over fettuccine or with roasted vegetables for a full meal.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour.
Reheat in the oven to maintain the chicken’s crispiness.
