Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip them in the beaten eggs, and coat them with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish. Top each piece with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked.
