Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season both chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow bowl, crack the egg and whisk it lightly. Dip each breast in the egg, allowing excess to drip off.
- Next, coat each breast thoroughly in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well-covered.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.
- Carefully transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish.
- Pour marinara sauce evenly over each breast. Top with shredded mozzarella and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
- Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.
Notes
For an extra crunch, feel free to swap out breadcrumbs for panko. You can also use store-bought marinara if you’re short on time.
