Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.75 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 cups white wine (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. Slowly add the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 6

If using, stir in the white wine and let the sauce simmer for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the Parmesan cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

Place the seared chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and pour the cheese sauce evenly over them.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the chicken and sauce.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the topping is golden brown.

Step 11

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Step 12

Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes.
