A classic Chicken Parmesan dish featuring crispy chicken, bubbling cheese, and zesty marinara sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally to make 6 breast halves
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing through the center to create two even halves.
  3. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, ¼ cup of parmesan, and garlic powder.
  5. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture to fully coat.
  6. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the breaded chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a 9×13’’ baking dish.
  8. Place the browned chicken on top of the sauce.
  9. Spoon additional marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with mozzarella and the remaining parmesan.
  10. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  11. Garnish with fresh basil before serving over spaghetti noodles with extra sauce, if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
