Chicken Parmigiana Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a baking dish.

  4. 4

    Add Marinara and Cheese

    Pour marinara sauce over the fried chicken breasts. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Cook the Linguini

    While the chicken is baking, cook the linguini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the chicken parmigiana hot over a bed of linguini marinara. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
