Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
- In separate dishes, set up a breading station with flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat and stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and sauce is creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and dried basil if using.
- Slice or serve chicken whole, pour Alfredo sauce over top, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Sauté spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli to mix into the sauce for extra nutrition.
- Add red pepper flakes to the sauce or chicken for a spicy kick.
- Use chicken tenders for faster cooking and easier serving.
- Try alternative cheeses like cheddar or gouda for different flavors.
