A classic Italian-American dish featuring crispy chicken breasts topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Cooked pasta (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a shallow bowl.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on each side—about 5 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish.
  7. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece and top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked.
  9. Serve hot with cooked pasta on the side.

Notes

Substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option or choose whole wheat breadcrumbs for a healthier twist.
