A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Parmigiana, this recipe offers a crispy texture and rich flavors, perfect for a family dinner.
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Flattening the chicken ensures even cooking and a tender texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even coating for the chicken.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs until fully combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides.
Cook until golden brown for a crispy texture.
Place the browned chicken in a lightly greased baking dish.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even baking.
Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Ensure the sauce covers the chicken evenly for a rich flavor.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a touch of freshness.
