Cheesy Baked Chicken Breasts
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven
:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the Chicken
:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Bake the Chicken
:
Place the seasoned chicken in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes.
Add the Cheese
:
Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken before serving. Pair with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
Chef’s Tip
: For extra flavor, add a layer of marinara sauce under the cheese before baking. Enjoy!
