Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, making sure they’re fully coated.
- Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
