Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.75 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh and chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and cook the sauce for 3-4 minutes, or until thickened.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping, until melted and smooth. Remove the sauce from heat.
Place the seared chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the chicken.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and the reserved Parmesan cheese. Mix well and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve hot with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad for a satisfying meal.
