Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to adhere.

  4. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
  5. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh basil. Serve the Chicken Parmesan over cooked pasta or with a side of your choice.
