Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup shredded Provel cheese (or a mix of provolone, Swiss, and white cheddar)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions: How to Cook Chicken Modiga

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
4. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
5. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and place in a baking dish.
7. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chicken broth and white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
8. Stir in the Provel cheese, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
9. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
11. Serve the Chicken Modiga hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
