Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces eggs
- 0.75 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.25 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 pieces fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the chicken and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
