Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cheesy BBQ Chicken Cutlets That Will Transform Your Dinner

Learn how to make delicious Cheesy BBQ Chicken Cutlets. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s gather everything you need to create this comforting dish:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

If you’re out of mozzarella, no worries! You can substitute with any melty cheese you have on hand. Gouda or Monterey Jack work beautifully too.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps for a meal that comes together in no time:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. While it heats up, line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  2. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness. This ensures they cook evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then sear the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown but not cooked through. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking tray.
  5. Spoon BBQ sauce generously over each chicken breast, ensuring they’re well-coated. You can never have too much sauce!
  6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. It adds a nice pop of color and freshness.

And there you have it—a dish that’s as delightful to make as it is to eat. The aroma alone will have your family flocking to the dinner table!
