A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Parmigiana, featuring a crispy coating and a rich tomato sauce, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy finish.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Adding a splash of water to the eggs can make the coating lighter.
Combine the breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish.
Mixing the seasoning well ensures even flavor distribution.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sear the breaded chicken until golden on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil's temperature.
Spread a layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
Using a good-quality sauce enhances the dish's overall flavor.
Arrange the seared chicken breasts over the sauce.
Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly spaced for consistent baking.
Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Layering the cheeses creates a gooey, flavorful topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Using a broiler for the last few minutes can add a nice crust to the cheese.
Serve hot with your choice of side, like pasta or a fresh salad.
Garnish with fresh basil for a touch of color and flavor.
