Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.75 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.75 cups Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, fresh and chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and cook the sauce for 3-4 minutes, or until thickened.

Step 5

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping, until melted and smooth. Remove the sauce from heat.

Step 6

Place the seared chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the chicken.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and the reserved Parmesan cheese. Mix well and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad for a satisfying meal.
