A crispy Parmesan crust and rich Alfredo sauce make this dish a special occasion meal that’s simple enough for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for a mixture of Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the egg, then coat it in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture. Press firmly to ensure it sticks well.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the seared chicken onto the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked and crispy.
  7. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute, then add heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  8. Stir in the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella until melted and smooth, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve the warm chicken drizzled with the creamy Alfredo sauce, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a healthier option, swap out the cream for a lighter alternative or use whole-grain breadcrumbs for the crust. This dish pairs well with grilled asparagus or a light Caesar salad.
