Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 pieces fresh basil leaves
  • 4 cups cooked pasta (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the eggs whisked with water, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook two chicken breasts at a time for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown but not fully cooked through. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.

Step 6

Return all the browned chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon marinara sauce evenly on top of each piece. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Serve hot with cooked pasta, if desired.
