Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Shallow bowls or plates
  • large skillet
  • Baking dish
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
  3. Set up a breading station with the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Dredge the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom.
  6. Fry the breaded chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish and top with the marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Chicken Parmesan!

Notes

For best results, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking. The combination of searing the breaded chicken and baking it with the sauce and cheese creates the perfect Chicken Parmesan. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
