Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if desired.
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl, then dip each seasoned chicken breast into the egg. Allow any excess to drip off.
- Mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Coat each chicken breast in this mixture, pressing lightly to adhere well.
- Heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over the top, then sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious creation!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature to keep the cheese texture.
