Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon (zest and juice)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prep the Cheese: Start by grating the Mozzarella cheese with the 2-Blade Set on your cheese shredder hand crank. Secure it to the countertop with its stable suction base—no slipping or wobbling. Add the cheese block to the hopper and turn the Z-shaped handle a few times to create fluffy, uniform shreds.The sharp stainless steel blades ensure a consistent texture perfect for melting.
Prepare the Chicken:Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for a flavorful base.
Add the Lemon Herb Mix:In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and dill. Spread this zesty mixture evenly over the chicken breasts to infuse them with bright flavor.
Assemble the Bake:Place the seasoned chicken in a baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, pressing lightly to adhere. The detachable handle on the cheese slicer makes it easy to handle large batches if needed.
Bake:Preheat your oven to a temperature suitable for baking. Bake the chicken until it’s cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown, with the herbs releasing their aroma.
Serve:Let the chicken rest briefly before serving. Slice or serve whole, paired with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
Tips and Variations
Lemon Boost: Add extra lemon slices on top for a stronger citrus flavor.
Cheese Swap: Use Gruyère or Parmesan (shredded with the 2-Blade Set) for a different taste.
Herb Mix: Substitute with thyme or oregano for a new twist.
Spicy Kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the cheese before baking.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to keep the cheese gooey.
