Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients:
4 chicken breast fillets
1 cup of regular flour
2 beaten eggs
1 cup of breadcrumbs
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp of dried basil leaves
1 tsp of dried oregano
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
Salt and pepper as required
1/2 cup of olive oil
1 cup of tomato-based marinara sauce
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Use a meat mallet to even out the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Prepare a breading station by placing three shallow dishes side by side. Fill the first dish with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the breaded chicken breasts until they are golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and top each one with some marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the chicken parmesan with more marinara sauce on the side and enjoy!
