Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick. This will help tenderize the chicken and ensure even cooking.
    step 1
  • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Coat each chicken breast with the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
    step 2
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned. Pour in the chicken broth and white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the sautéed chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the mushroom sauce over them. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the Chicken Modiga from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the dish hot, accompanied by your choice of sides such as pasta, rice, or vegetables. Enjoy the delightful flavors of this Italian-American classic!
