Chicken Parmesan

Preheat Oven Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare Breadcrumb Mixture In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Prepare Flour and Eggs Place the flour in another shallow bowl and the beaten eggs in a third shallow bowl.

Coat Chicken with Breadcrumb Mixture Dip each chicken breast into the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides well.

Cook Chicken Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Add Sauce and Seasonings Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the marinara sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Add Cheese Topping Top each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.

Serve Serve the Chicken Parmesan hot with pasta or crusty bread.
