- 4 skinless chicken breasts
- 75 g (3oz) butter, softened
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- Handful fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 75 g (3oz) dried breadcrumbs
- 25 g (1oz) Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- Plain flour, to dust
- 2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6 and put in a baking tray to heat up. Using a sharp knife, cut through the side of each chicken breast to make a pocket. Working one at a time, lay a fillet down on a board, cover with clingfilm and flatten a little with a rolling pin. Repeat with remaining breasts.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together butter, garlic, parsley and plenty of seasoning. Stuff a quarter of the mixture into each chicken breast pocket.
- Step 3
Mix together breadcrumbs and Parmesan on a large
lipped plate. Put flour and eggs on to separate lipped plates. Working one at a time, coat breasts in flour (tapping off excess), followed by the egg and breadcrumbs.
- Step 4
Transfer coated breasts to the preheated baking tray and cook for 20-25mins or until crispy, golden and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with a green salad and new potatoes, if you like.

An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
