Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Step-by-Step Preparation Guide

1. Marinate the Chicken

1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin fillets.
2. Place the chicken fillets into a zip-top bag and pour in the Lea & Perrin’s Chicken Marinade.
3. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

2. Cook the Chicken

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken fillets.
3. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes on one side until lightly browned, then flip and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes on the other side.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Prepare the Panko Bread Crumbs

1. In a small bowl, combine the Panko bread crumbs with the melted butter.
2. Toss until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.

4. Prepare the Cheese Blend

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded Gruyere, white Cheddar, Parmesan, and Fontina cheeses.

5. Make the Cheese Sauce

1. In a small skillet, heat the heavy cream over low heat.
2. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the cheese blend to the cream, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

6. Assemble and Broil

1. Preheat your oven to broil.
2. Place the cooked chicken fillets on an oven-safe dish or pan.
3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese sauce over each chicken fillet.
4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese blend evenly over the chicken fillets.
5. Top each fillet with the buttered Panko bread crumbs.
6. Place the dish under the broiler and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread crumbs are golden brown.

7. Serve

1. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
