  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in eggs, and coat with bread crumbs.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Place browned chicken in the baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked through.
