Chicken Parmesan Ingredients
Method
Chicken Parmesan Directions
- 1
Prepare Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- 2
Season Chicken
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- 3
Set Up Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with half of the grated Parmesan cheese.

Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Dish
In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken on top, then cover each piece with the remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Parmesan!
