A comforting Chicken Parmesan recipe featuring crispy, breaded chicken breasts, marinara sauce, and gooey mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil (for garnish, optional)
  • Olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1 inch, generously seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up your breading station: one bowl for beaten eggs and one for the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the egg, letting the excess drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture for a full coating.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil to cover the pan. Fry the breaded chicken breasts until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken on top and spoon more marinara over them. Finish with a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider doubling the breadcrumb layer. This dish pairs well with spaghetti and garlic bread.
