Baking Tips

For the juiciest chicken, don't skip the searing step before baking

Make sure the chicken breasts are even thickness to ensure they cook evenly

Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness - overcooked chicken will be dry

The parmesan mixture can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until needed

Watch the chicken carefully during the broiling step as the cheese can burn quickly

Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-packaged shredded cheese

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute

If you prefer a thinner chicken breast, butterfly them before cooking

For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of ranch seasoning to the parmesan mixture

The chicken broth prevents the chicken from drying out during baking and creates a flavorful base

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup chicken broth

For the Parmesan Crust:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup shredded provolone cheese

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons softened butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For Garnish:

2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Lemon wedges

Equipment:

Oven-safe skillet or frying pan

Mixing bowls

Meat thermometer

Baking sheet (if not using oven-safe skillet)

Aluminum foil

Measuring cups and spoons

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If breasts are very thick, pound them slightly to even thickness (about 3/4 inch).

Season chicken on both sides with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Add chicken broth to the skillet, then transfer skillet to the preheated oven. (If not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer chicken and broth to a baking dish.)

Bake for 10 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

While chicken is baking, prepare the parmesan crust. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Parmesan, provolone, mozzarella, softened butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

Remove chicken from the oven and switch oven to broil setting.

Spread the parmesan mixture evenly over each chicken breast, covering the top completely.

Return to oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese topping is golden brown and bubbly.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. The chicken's internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
