Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • cutting board
  • knife
  • Meat mallet
  • Shallow dishes (3)
  • whisk
  • large skillet
  • paper towels
  • Baking dish
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
  2. Slice chicken breasts horizontally into thinner cutlets. Pound to ¼ inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese.
  4. Dredge chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  6. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until thickened.
  8. Stir in parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Pour a thin layer of sauce into the baking dish. Arrange chicken in the dish.
  10. Pour remaining sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  11. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor. Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. Pound the chicken evenly for even cooking. Adjust the sauce consistency by simmering longer for a thicker sauce or adding more chicken broth for a thinner sauce. You can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead of time. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
