Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

  2. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Pour the marinara sauce over the fried chicken breasts in the baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  4. 6

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Parmesan!
