Baked Chicken Provo

This is an easy riff on Chicken Parm. Sun Dried Tomatoes along with some Provolone Cheese fill the breasts’ deep pockets.

The breasts get a thorough egg dip and a generous roll in flavored Panko Bread Crumbs before they bake in a hot oven. This makes the crust extra crunchy enough that you won’t miss the frying. A thick coating of provolone melts under the broiler, sealing the deal.

This is a lighter version of the classic that will make a tasty star appearance on any plate. Whether accompanied by Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Caramelized Zucchini as shown here or a side of pasta and a crisp salad, or any other sides you want to present, it is a quick and easy Weeknight Supper.
