2 large Eggs

1 cup Breadcrumbs

1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Method

Chicken Preparation

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Dredging the Chicken

Set up a dredging station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in another, and place the breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese in a third dish.

Coat the Chicken

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Ensure each piece is fully coated.

Cooking the Chicken

Sear the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Bake the Chicken

Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish. Pour a generous amount of marinara sauce over each piece, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Finish Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

Cook the Sauce

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Simmer the sauce for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving

Plate the Dish

Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish

Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy your Chicken Parmigiana!
