Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

02

Step

Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.

03

Step

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts. Sear, untouched, until bottoms release from the pan, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.

04

Step

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and let melt. Add panko bread crumbs. Cook and stir until breadcrumbs start to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and add parsley and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Set breading aside.

05

Step

Combine mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread this mixture over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon the bread crumb mixture evenly over the chicken. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.

07

Step

Pour remaining chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Be sure to use an oven-safe skillet, such as cast iron, for best results.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.

    The pan sauce is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a brightness and acidity that balances the richness of the chicken.

    I love that this recipe is baked instead of fried. It's a healthier option without sacrificing flavor.

    This recipe is a game-changer! The chicken was so juicy and the breading was perfectly crispy.

    Be careful not to overcook the chicken. It's best when it's still slightly juicy.
