Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
4 cloves garlic sliced
½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs beaten
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, mozzarella, ¼ cup parmesan, butter, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning until well mixed.
4 cloves garlic, ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Cut about a 3-inch wide pocket into the thick side of each chicken breast (almost to the other side, but do not cut all the way through).
4 chicken breasts
Stuff ¼ of the cheese filling into each chicken breast and secure it with toothpicks. Set aside.
Get out 3 shallow bowls for the breading station. In one bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Put the eggs in the second bowl. Mix the breadcrumbs, ¼ cup parmesan, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in the third.
1 cup all-purpose flour, 3 eggs, 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs, Salt and pepper
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
Oil
Dip each side of the chicken in the flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumb mixture. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and repeat until each chicken breast is breaded and cooking.
Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is 165°F at the thickest point.
Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve.

Notes

Chicken: Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, you may need to sear the breasts in batches. They’ll shrink as they cook, so you should be able to fit them all in the skillet for baking.
