A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Parmigiana, this recipe offers a crispy and cheesy experience that is both easy to prepare and delicious.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Using extra virgin olive oil adds a rich flavor to the dish.
Dip each chicken breast into the whisked eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken for a better coating.
Pan-fry the breaded chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Place the cooked chicken breasts into an ovenproof dish.
Arrange them in a single layer for even baking.
Spread marinara sauce over each chicken breast, covering the top.
Use a spoon to evenly distribute the sauce.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced chicken breasts.
Ensure the cheese is evenly spread for a uniform melt.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Chop the parsley finely for a more delicate presentation.
Serve hot with a side of green salad or roasted vegetables.
Add a slice of garlic bread for a complete meal.
