A classic Italian-American dish featuring crispy chicken cutlets topped with tangy marinara and gooey mozzarella, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally to make 4 cutlets)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • Cooked spaghetti (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and another with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, dip into the eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in a baking dish. Place the fried cutlets in the dish and spoon the remaining sauce over them. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley before serving hot with cooked spaghetti.

Notes

Tips: Ensure chicken cutlets are even in thickness for consistent cooking and add the marinara sauce just before serving to maintain crispiness.
