Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian style)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare your chicken breasts by gently pounding them to an even thickness. This will ensure even cooking.
- Season the flour with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.

- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
- Serve warm with pasta, salad, or bread. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Parmesan!
