Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken or beef
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 500 milliliters Marinara sauce
- 200 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken (or beef), breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the cooked patties in the dish, making sure they are not overlapping.
Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the patties, ensuring each one is well covered.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the patties.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.
