Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, (cut into 8 equal pieces)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs
  • 1 container alfredo sauce, (divided)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese ((freshly grated on a microplane), plus more for serving)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Remove fat from the chicken and cut the chicken breasts into 8 even pieces (use a food scale if possible; each piece should weigh 2 ounces). Season the chicken breasts on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Set out 2 bowls. Place 1/3 cup alfredo sauce in one, and panko, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in the other.
  • Dredge each chicken piece in the Alfredo and then in the panko mixture. Place chicken pieces in the prepared pan.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  • Remove and cover with 2/3 cup Alfredo sauce and 1/2 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese.
  • Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through (oven thermometer reads 160 degrees F). Remove and serve on plates. Grate additional Parmesan cheese right over top.
