A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Parmigiana, featuring a crispy crust and a rich, cheesy topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy finish.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Seasoning the chicken enhances its natural flavor.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken for a better crust.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil temperature.
Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet, top with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
Layer the cheese evenly for a consistent melt.
Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 7 minutes.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor and color to the dish.
