>>>Get the Recipe in Details: Baked Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare Breading: In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
- Prepare Egg Wash: In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
- Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Finish Baking: Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve the Baked Chicken Parmesan hot with pasta, a side salad, or garlic bread.
