Join me and let's see how to make Chicken Parmesan
Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, whisk the eggs in another, and combine the breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in the third.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat them with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 6
In a separate ovenproof dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Place the fried chicken breasts on top.
Step 7
Spoon more marinara sauce over each chicken breast, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your homemade Chicken Parmesan with your favorite pasta or as a sandwich!
