Ingredients

Chicken Cutlet

Marinara Sauce

Toppings

Preparation

Preparing the Chicken

1. Prepare the 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. Set up Breading Station

In three separate shallow dishes, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

3. Bread the Chicken

Dip each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

4. Fry the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken cutlets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Marinara Sauce

5. Sauté Garlic

In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir well and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened.

Assembling and Baking

7. Assemble the Dish

In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce, place the fried chicken cutlets on top, and then generously cover with remaining marinara sauce.

8. Add Cheese

Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken and sauce.

9. Bake

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

10. Serve

Let the chicken parmigiana cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
