Recipe of Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish
• Olive oil for frying

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 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.

4. 4

   Dip each chicken breast into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat them with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

5. 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.

6. 6

   In a separate ovenproof dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Place the fried chicken breasts on top.

7. 7

   Spoon more marinara sauce over each chicken breast, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

9. 9

   Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your homemade Chicken Parmesan with your favorite pasta or as a sandwich!
