Chicken Parmesan is a crowd-pleaser that combines crispy, golden chicken with rich marinara sauce and gooey melted mozzarella. This dish is perfect for a cozy Christmas dinner or family gathering, offering comforting flavors everyone will love.
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for more uniform cooking.
- Set Up the Breading Station: Arrange three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat each chicken breast in the flour, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Bake the Chicken Parmesan: Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a baking dish. Top each piece with marinara sauce and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve your Chicken Parmesan with extra marinara sauce on the side and enjoy!
