Description
A cheesy, herbed chicken dish with a golden crust and melted provolone topping. Tender, flavorful, and effortless—a weeknight favorite.
Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1/3 cup olive oil (for baking)
6 slices provolone cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
In a bowl, mix Parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper.
Dip chicken breasts in the mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
Place in baking dish and brush lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 15 minutes until golden.
Top each breast with 1-2 slices of provolone cheese.
Bake 8–10 minutes longer until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
Use halal-certified cheese if required.
Substitute provolone with mozzarella or Gruyère if unavailable.
Add a splash of non-alcoholic broth to the dish before baking for extra moisture.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving for juicier meat.
