Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even thickness)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to add provolone or cheddar for a different flavor twist.
- Cooking Tip: Pound the chicken evenly so it cooks at the same rate.
- Serving Suggestion: Pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a crisp green salad.
