Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish until well beaten. In another dish, mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage. Then, transfer them to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat well.
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Place the fried chicken breasts in a baking dish and generously pour marinara sauce over each piece. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
Double-dip the chicken for extra crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
