A comforting dish featuring juicy chicken breasts coated in a crunchy crust, topped with marinara sauce and melted cheese, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 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
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Create a breading station: Put flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan in a third dish.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the egg, and coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  6. Once browned, place the chicken in a baking dish. Top each piece with marinara sauce and sprinkle mozzarella on top.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs or ground almonds for a gluten-free option. Freshly grated cheese yields better flavor.
