Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken:
    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 large eggs, beaten
    • 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 1/4 cup olive oil (for frying)
  • For the Topping:
    • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the Chicken:
    • Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch).
  • Bread the Chicken:
    • Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in the third.
    • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Fry the Chicken:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Assemble and Bake:
    • Place fried chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece, then sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve hot over pasta or alongside a crisp salad.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, bake chicken on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
  • Use homemade marinara sauce for richer flavor.
  • Substitute mozzarella with provolone or fontina cheese for a flavor variation.
