A classic Chicken Parmesan with crispy chicken cutlets, marinara sauce, and gooey melted cheese, perfect for any dinner occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally to make 4 cutlets)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • Cooked spaghetti (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, dip it into the eggs, and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in a baking dish. Place the fried cutlets in the dish and spoon the remaining sauce over them. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley before serving hot with cooked spaghetti.

Notes

Leftovers can be safely stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
