Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 4 fillets)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or Italian-style)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or brush with olive oil.
- Cut the chicken breasts into four fillets and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Prepare three bowls for the breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Dredge each chicken fillet in flour, dip in the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the breaded fillets on the baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Remove from oven, pour marinara sauce over each piece, and top with mozzarella cheese.
- Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, use Panko breadcrumbs. Let chicken sit at room temperature for even cooking.
