Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Coat each chicken breast thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
- Arrange the coated chicken on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating has a nice crispiness.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and top each breast generously with marinara sauce and a handful of mozzarella cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot.
Notes
For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Use cooking spray on the breadcrumb-coated chicken for extra crispiness.
