Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, take the chicken breasts and gently pound them to an even thickness. This ensures they cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. This will enhance the flavor of the chicken.

Breading the Chicken

  1. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first one, beat the eggs in the second, and combine the breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in the third.

  2. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 6

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Baking

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the cooked chicken breasts on top, then spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the chicken.

  2. 8

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and marinara sauce.

  3. 9

    Bake

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

Serving

  1. 10

    Ready to Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with pasta or a side salad.
