Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 each boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 each large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Meat mallet (or rolling pin)
  • Shallow dishes (3)
  • Large skillet
  • Oven

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch, then season them with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for Panko mixed with Parmesan cheese.
Cooking
  1. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip it in egg, and finally coat it thoroughly with the Panko-Parmesan mixture.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the breaded chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish, top each piece with marinara sauce and then a generous amount of mozzarella cheese.
Baking & Serving
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  2. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Serve this Chicken Parmesan with your favorite pasta, a fresh salad, or some crusty bread for a complete meal. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
