How to Make Chicken Breasts Alfredo

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Season 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Dredge chicken breasts in 1 cup all-purpose flour, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 7-8 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Transfer chicken to an 11x7 inch baking dish.
  8. **Prepare Alfredo Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 cups heavy cream and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer.
  9. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  10. Pour Alfredo sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  11. Top each chicken breast with 1-2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz total).
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and chicken is heated through.
  13. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
