A delightful cornerstone of Italian-American cuisine, featuring juicy chicken in a crispy coating, smothered in marinara sauce and melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Generously season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Pour marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil before serving hot.

Notes

For best results, ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. Experiment with cheese variations for a gourmet twist.
