Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 12 ounces chicken breasts (2 portions)
- 1 cup Lea & Perrins Chicken Marinade
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
For the Cheese Blend:
- 1 ounce Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces white Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded
For the Cheese Sauce (Optional):
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup cheese blend from above
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally and place them into a zip-top bag. Add the marinade, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until lightly browned.
- Prepare Cheese Blend: In a bowl, mix together Gruyere, white Cheddar, Parmesan, and Fontina cheeses.
- Make Cheese Sauce (Optional): In a small skillet over low heat, combine heavy cream and 1/2 cup of the cheese blend. Heat until melted and smooth.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs with melted butter, tossing until evenly coated.
- Broil Chicken: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place cooked chicken on an oven-safe dish. Top each piece with about 1 tablespoon of cheese sauce (if using), followed by the cheese blend, and sprinkle with the buttered Panko breadcrumbs. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is browned and topping is crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this savory, cheesy delight!
