A delightful dish of crispy breaded chicken topped with rich marinara sauce and gooey melted cheese, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 chicken breasts, sliced in half length-wise to create 6 cutlets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp Italian herb blend (thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 6 slices Mozzarella
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Tenderize the chicken and pat it dry.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs with the parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and garlic powder. Set up an assembly line with flour, whisked eggs, and the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Bread the chicken by coating each cutlet in flour first, then dipping it in the eggs, and finally packing it with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
  5. Arrange browned chicken in a baking dish. Top each piece with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a spoonful of marinara sauce.
  6. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for about 14 minutes. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and broil on HIGH for 1 minute until bubbly and slightly browned.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

For a baked method, you can bake at 450°F (232°C) for 25 minutes, layer as directed, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
