Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients For 5 Servings
  • Here is what you need for this Cheesy Chicken Recipe:
  • 1.5 pounds about 700 grams boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano optional
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for topping – optional

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Here’s how to make this Cheesy Chicken Recipe step by step:
  • Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
  • Turn on the oven and set it to 375°F (190°C). It will get hot while you prepare the chicken.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
  • Wash the chicken and dry it with a paper towel. If it is thick, cut it into two thin pieces or flatten it using a rolling pin. This helps it cook faster and evenly.
  • Step 3: Add the Seasoning
  • In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano. Rub this mix all over the chicken. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Step 4: Place in Baking Dish
  • Put the chicken in a baking dish or tray. Do not stack the pieces. Lay them flat so they all cook evenly.
  • Step 5: Add Cheese on Top
  • Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over each piece of chicken. Try to spread it evenly so each bite gets cheesy.
  • Step 6: Bake the Chicken
  • Put the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The cheese should melt and turn golden. If it browns too fast, you can cover the dish with foil for the first 15 minutes.
  • Step 7: Check If It's Done
  • Take out one piece and cut it in the middle. It should be white inside (not pink). If it’s still not done, bake for 5 more minutes.
  • Step 8: Add Fresh Parsley
  • Sprinkle chopped parsley on top after baking. It adds color and a fresh taste.
  • Step 9: Serve and Enjoy
  • Your Cheesy Chicken Recipe is ready. Serve it hot and enjoy the stretchy cheese and tender chicken.
