Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Progresso Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and lightly pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Progresso breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it in the egg, then coat it in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook two chicken breasts at a time for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more olive oil as needed for the second batch.
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and wipe the skillet clean if necessary. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon marinara sauce evenly over each piece.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the marinara sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 4–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired. Enjoy with a side of spaghetti, a salad, or garlic bread!
