Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian-American dish that combines crispy breaded chicken cutlets with savory marinara sauce and melted cheese. This recipe offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors, making it a comforting favorite for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Remove chicken from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over each breast. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy this crispy comfort dish with a side of pasta or salad!
