Chicken Parmigiana Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken Cutlets

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another bowl, and breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Dip each piece of chicken in flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the fried chicken cutlets in a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce generously over each cutlet, then sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot.
