“I’ve made this dozens of times and the family cannot get enough! – Don’t lose this recipe!”

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your Chicken Parmesan stays warm and the cheese melts perfectly.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures even cooking and tenderness. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
3. Coating the Chicken: Set up three shallow bowls. Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in the third. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
5. Assemble the Chicken Parmesan: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place the fried chicken breasts on top of the sauce. Spoon more marinara sauce over each chicken breast, covering them completely. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
6. Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Once done, remove the Chicken Parmesan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh basil and parsley if desired. Serve hot with your choice of pasta or a side of vegetables.
8. Enjoy: Enjoy this classic Chicken Parmesan dish with your family and friends, savoring the delicious combination of crispy chicken, tangy marinara sauce, and gooey melted cheese. Buon appetito!
