Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Parmesan Cream Topping:

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

For the Crispy Topping:

• 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powde

• Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

1. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness (about ¾ inch).
2. In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken.

2. Cook the Chicken:

3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
4. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. The chicken doesn’t need to be fully cooked at this stage.
5. Transfer the chicken to a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Make the Parmesan Topping:

6. In a small bowl, mix together Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, and mayonnaise until combined.
7. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the seared chicken.

4. Prepare the Crispy Topping:

8. In another small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and garlic powder.
9. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cheese topping on the chicken.

5. Bake the Chicken:

10. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
11. Bake the chicken for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the topping turns golden brown.
12. For an extra crispy crust, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
13. Serving Suggestions & Tips

• Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta with a creamy garlic sauce.
• Garnish with fresh or dried parsley for extra flavor.
• If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
• Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
