Classic Italian-American comfort food featuring crispy fried chicken, marinara sauce, and gooey melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Beat the egg in a shallow dish until well mixed. Combine breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese in another dish.
  4. Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the egg, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and chicken is fully cooked.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, try double-dipping the chicken in the egg and breadcrumbs.
