A classic dish featuring crispy, cheesy chicken smothered in rich marinara sauce, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for frying

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  3. Season the chicken: Generously salt and pepper both sides.
  4. Set up your dredging station: Arrange three bowls—one with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs mixed with oregano and garlic powder.
  5. Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Pan-fry the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and crispy.
  7. Prepare for baking: Arrange the cooked chicken breasts in the greased baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake to perfection: Place the baking dish in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let it rest: Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze after baking for up to 3 months.
