A classic Italian-American dish featuring crispy chicken breasts topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Cooked pasta (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a shallow bowl.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on each sideโ€”about 5 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish.
  7. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece and top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked.

Notes

Substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option or choose whole wheat breadcrumbs for a healthier twist.
