Method

Junior Chicken Parmigiana

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and coat with bread crumbs.

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the breaded chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the cooked chicken in a baking dish, top with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Stir in marinara sauce and dried basil. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Lasagna

    In a baking dish, spread a layer of meat sauce, place 3 noodles, and add ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with cheese on top.

    Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom of mini cheesecake molds.
