# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken Parmesan Components
01 -
1 cup marinara sauce
02 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano
03 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
04 -
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
05 -
Salt, to taste
06 -
Black pepper, to taste
07 -
1/2 cup olive oil
08 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets
09 -
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
10 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
11 -
2 large eggs, beaten
12 -
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
13 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.
02 -
Gently pound the chicken breast fillets with a meat mallet until evenly thick to ensure uniform cooking.
03 -
Set up three shallow dishes: place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, dried basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
04 -
Dredge each chicken fillet first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
05 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add breaded chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
06 -
Arrange the browned chicken pieces in a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over each fillet and top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
08 -
Serve hot with additional marinara sauce if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Pounding the chicken to an even thickness helps it cook evenly and prevents dryness.
