Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Coat each chicken breast lightly with olive oil, then dredge them in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring full coverage.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the cooked chicken on top and add marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese over each piece.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
For extra crunch, double-dip the chicken in the egg before coating it with breadcrumbs. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
