Chicken Parmesan Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch.

Coat the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano. Dip each chicken breast in flour, then in egg, and finally in the panko mixture.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a baking dish.

Add Sauce and Cheese
Spoon marinara sauce over each piece of chicken, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
