Main Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Breading the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with half of the Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast in flour, then egg, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture.
3. Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches.
4. Assemble the Chicken Parmesan
In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken on top, then spread the remaining marinara sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
6. Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Mezza Chicken Parmesan with pasta or a side salad.
