Ingredients
for 4 servings
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 teaspoon salt -
½ teaspoon pepper -
½ teaspoon onion powder -
1 cup flour (125 g) - 2 eggs
-
1 cup seasoned breadcrumb (115 g) -
2 cups marinara sauce (520 g) - 8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup grated parmesan cheese (55 g) - fresh basil, thinly sliced, to serve
- vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation
- Cut the chicken breasts in half widthwise to make 4 thin breasts.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
- Coat the chicken in flour, then egg, and then bread crumbs.
- Pour oil in a cast-iron skillet to come ¼ inch (½ cm) up the side. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry on both sides until brown, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Place the fried chicken breasts in a baking dish. If they don’t fit side by side, gently overlap them. Pour the marinara over the chicken.
- Top with mozzarella slices and Parmesan.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbling.
- Serve with freshly chopped basil.
- Enjoy!

This is a great recipe - chicken is perfectly crispy. Two suggestions: tenderize the chicken with a jicard or something similar & add some additional Italian seasoning to the breadcrumbs. Yummm!

Honestly, it seems harder than it looks. I followed every step and it came out perfectly. I now know how to make the perfect chicken Parmesan. I used boneless drumstick, and tenderized (flattened it) and it came out amazing. I added a tad bit more cheese as well but overall it was amazingly delicious. Can’t add a picture because I was too excited to eat haha

Very messy, but very easy and a family favorite! I used tin foil in the dish for easier clean up. I’ve made it twice and I used sliced mozzarella the first time and shredded the second time. It honestly tasted better the second time. Overall very delicious recipe!
