A delightful twist on classic Italian Chicken Parmesan, featuring crispy, golden chicken breasts layered with zesty marinara and gooey cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly coat each chicken breast with olive oil.
- Dredge the oiled chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to ensure an even coating.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in a greased baking dish.
