What is Chicken Parmesan?
Chicken Parmesan is a popular Italian-American dish. It consists of breaded chicken breast covered in tomato sauce and melted cheese, usually mozzarella or parmesan. The dish is often served with pasta and vegetables on the side.
Chicken Parmesan Ingredients

You will need:
- 2 cups marinara
- 1 ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup flour
- 1 cup mozzarella
- ½ cup Parmesan
- olive oil for cooking
HOW DO YOU MAKE CHICKEN PARMESAN?
START: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prep three dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley.
STEP ONE: Pound chicken breasts to ½ inch thick. If necessary, you can cut large breasts in half.
PRO TIP: Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to eliminate mess.

STEP TWO: Dip chicken in flour, then eggs, then bread crumb mix — make sure it’s well coated in each step.

STEP THREE: Cook in olive oil in a large pan, browning on each side, which should take about four minutes per side.
STEP FOUR: Place one cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 dish, then lay the chicken on top. Divide the remaining marinara sauce across the top of each piece of chicken, then top with mozzarella cheese.

STEP FIVE: Bake for 25-30 minutes until internal chicken temperature reaches 165 degrees. You can top with fresh chopped basil before serving over spaghetti.
