Equipment
- Baking sheet ( Highly recommend a baking sheet with cooking rack on it like I linked above)
Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten free or regular bread crumbs
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 15 oz Favorite Alredo Sauce (we love Rao's) you will not use the whole jar. The nurtion facts include the tbsp for each breast
- 12 oz Shredded Mozzarella you won't use the whole bag, unless you want to! I use about 1-2 oz for each chicken breast. So you may use as much as you want
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 400 degrees. In a large bowl add in the seasonsings ( onion powder, garlic powder, salt, oregano and paprkia) as well as the bread crumbs and parmesan. Then whisk together with a fork.
- Cut each of the chicken breasts horizontally along the width of the breast to create 2 thin pieces of the chicken breasts. Repeat for all 4 large chicken breasts. Now you will have 8 chicken breast cutlets ready to go!( Also known as butterflying your chicken breasts)
- Then toss each chicken breast piece in the seasoning, bread crumb and parmesan until each side is well coated and add to baking sheet rack or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using the baking sheet rack insures it gets crispy on both sides. If you don't have one, you can also get a baking sheet, line it with alminum foil and place a cooling rack ontop, that way it is raised off your baking sheet!
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Then take out and pour 1 tbsp of alfredo on top and sprinkle with mozzarella ontop. Place back in oven and place on high broil for 5 minutes. Then dig in!
Notes
You may have breadcrumb mixture leftover. It is hard to know the exact amount that will leave you with no leftovers, because chicken breasts range in size so much. Therefore, I'd rather you be left with a little extra rather than in the middle of it need to create more mixture. When you make again, and if you use the same size, you can adjust as needed!
