Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the marinara sauce into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken to coat.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Pair with pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
