  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 41 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups marinara sauce
– 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
– Olive oil for frying


Instructions

Creating this incredible Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Parm can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
6. Fry Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches.
7. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the fried chicken breasts to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over each piece, ensuring they are well covered.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the marinara-covered chicken.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
