Description

Classic Chicken Parmesan features crispy, breaded chicken breasts topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. Perfectly baked to golden perfection and garnished with fresh basil, this dish makes a hearty, comforting meal that will satisfy everyone at the table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the dredging station: In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in the third.
  • Season and coat the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden brown on both sides.
  • Assemble and bake: Place chicken in a baking dish, cover with marinara sauce, and top with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is bubbly.
  • Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Serve with pasta, garlic bread, or a side salad for a complete meal. For a lighter version, try baking the chicken instead of frying.
