A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan, this recipe offers a crispy baked chicken topped with a creamy tomato sauce and melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy coating.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and pound them to an even thickness.
Even thickness ensures the chicken cooks uniformly.
Beat the eggs in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Mixing the cheese with the breadcrumbs adds extra flavor.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a greased baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
Use a wire rack in the baking dish for extra crispiness.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Cooking the roux removes the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a gentle boil. Add salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.
Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
Spread the sauce over the baked chicken, then top with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Layering the sauce and cheese ensures even coverage.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Broil for the last 2 minutes for a golden top.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
Pair with a side of pasta or salad for a complete meal.
