Chicken Worthington

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish large enough to fit the chicken breasts comfortably.

2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge each piece in the flour, shaking off any excess.

3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the broth to reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

5. Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of each chicken breast.

7. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken breasts in the skillet.

8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy.

9. Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.

10. To serve, plate each chicken breast, spooning extra sauce from the skillet over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
