Ingredients Method Notes

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)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. In a small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
  5. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
