Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parmesan is one of the best dinners! Juicy chicken breasts, coated in crispy, seasoned breadcrumbs, and layered with marinara and melted cheese. Ready in one hour!
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 smaller cutlets. Set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper. This is the dredge. It should be the consistency of thin pancake batter. Add more flour if it's too runny. You can also add water to loosen it up.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan, and Italian seasoning in another shallow dish.
- Dredge the chicken in the egg wash and shake off excess, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Set aside.
- Now, preheat your oven to 450°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Add the remaining oil and repeat with the last 2 pieces of chicken.
- Top the breaded chicken with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden and the chicken is cooked through (should be 160°F in the thickest point).
