A comforting Italian dish featuring crispy chicken breasts, marinara, and melted mozzarella that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or special gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into even portions
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  2. Prepare the chicken by pounding the breasts to an even thickness, ensuring even cooking.
  3. Set up your dredging station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix Panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a third bowl.
  4. Dredge each chicken piece: Start by coating it in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
  5. Arrange the coated chicken on the wire rack, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Add marinara sauce: Spoon it over each piece of chicken, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, and return to the oven for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
