Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Italian vinaigrette
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup grated provolone cheese
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Oven-safe skillet
  • Meat thermometer
  • Small saucepan
  • Bowls for mixing ingredients
  • Resealable plastic bag

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken in Italian vinaigrette for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, season the chicken with salt and pepper, and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Mix parmesan and provolone cheeses in a bowl, sprinkle over the chicken, then combine panko, melted butter, and garlic powder and top the cheese layer with this mixture.
  4. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream and Dijon mustard over medium heat until the sauce slightly thickens, stirring occasionally, then finish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For optimal flavor, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking to retain its juices. Consider toasting the panko breadcrumbs in a dry skillet before mixing with butter for extra crunch. If you prefer a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or use dairy-free cheese alternatives. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crispy coating.
