A comforting and delicious Chicken Parmesan that is quick to prepare, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to about half an inch thick.
  3. Set up your dredging station: In one bowl, whisk the eggs; in another, season the flour with salt and pepper; and in the third, mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  6. In a baking dish, layer some marinara sauce, then add the fried chicken on top. Spoon additional marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve your Chicken Parmesan over pasta or alongside a fresh side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

For variety, try swapping chicken for eggplant, zucchini, or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Consider double-dipping the chicken for extra crunch!
