Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Do not cook through.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle an even layer of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses over the top of each chicken breast.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
