Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Set aside.
4. Place the flour in another shallow dish.
5. Dip each chicken breast into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken. Repeat this process for all the chicken breasts.
6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
7. Transfer the partially cooked chicken breasts to a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
10. Serve the Chicken Parmesan with your favorite pasta or salad.
Enjoy your homemade Chicken Parmesan!
