Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to about half an inch thick for even cooking.
  3. Set up a dredging station: one plate for seasoned flour, another for beaten eggs, and a third for breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into flour, then eggs, and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
  5. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and sear the breaded chicken until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side).
  6. Place seared chicken in the baking dish, spoon marinara sauce over each piece, and sprinkle mozzarella on top.
