Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
- Set up three shallow dishes: fill one with flour, beat the eggs in the second, and mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip it in the egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Drizzle olive oil on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place the coated chicken on it.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
- Flip the chicken, spoon marinara sauce on top, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for another 10-15 minutes until cooked through and the cheese is melty and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
Notes
To achieve a perfectly crispy coating, pat the chicken cutlets dry before coating. Feel free to experiment with spices in the breadcrumb mixture.
