Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg, ensuring it’s fully coated, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over each piece and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for around 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and chicken reaches 165°F internally.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil.
Notes
For extra crispiness, consider double-dipping the chicken in egg and breadcrumbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
