Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, if desired.
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast into the egg, letting any excess drip off.
- Combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in another bowl. Coat each chicken breast in this mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Place the seared chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over the top, then add a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious creation!
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
