Ingredients
- 2 cups marinara
- 1 ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- ½ cup flour
- 1 cup mozzarella
- ½ cup Parmesan
- olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- 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.
- Pound chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thick. If necessary, you can cut large breasts in half. Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to eliminate mess.
- Dip chicken in flour, then eggs, then bread crumb mix -- make sure it's well coated in each step.
- Cook in olive oil in a large pan, browning on each side, which should take about four minutes per side.
- Place one cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 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.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until internal chicken temperature reaches 165 degrees. You can top with fresh chopped basil before serving over spaghetti.
