Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • fresh basil leaves for garnish

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer them to a baking dish.
  • In the same skillet or a sauce pan, prepare the Alfredo sauce. Melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the Alfredo sauce over each chicken breast, dividing it evenly. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Once done, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

Pound the Chicken Evenly - Make sure your chicken cutlets are an even thickness so they cook evenly and brown nicely in the pan.
Don't Skip the Browning Step - Lightly browning the chicken in a frying pan adds flavor and helps seal in moisture before baking.
Use a Hot Pan - Preheat your skillet so the chicken gets a nice golden crust without overcooking the inside.
Let the Alfredo Sauce Simmer First - When making homemade Alfredo sauce, let it simmer just until slightly thickened before pouring over the chicken—it’ll finish thickening in the oven.
