Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Generously season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Roll the chicken in a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese, making sure to cover every inch.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving hot.

For extra crispiness, consider double-dipping the chicken in egg and breadcrumbs.
