Chicken parmesan

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425F. Cut the chicken breasts down the middle then pound into thin fillets.

Step 2

Whisk the eggs together well with a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl combine flour with a teaspoon of salt and ½ tsp pepper then whisk together and set aside. In a third bowl combine the breadcrumbs with ½ cup grated parmesan and mix together.

Step 3

Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off excess, then dip in the egg and let excess drip off. Dredge on both sides in the bread crumbs and press down so the breadcrumbs stick and form a nice layer.

Step 4

Pour the olive oil in a large sauté pan and heat over high heat until you see the oil shimmering. Add 2-3 chicken breasts to the pan at a time and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.

Step 5

Transfer to a baking sheet and top each breast with ⅓-½ cup marinara sauce, a generous sprinkle of mozzarella, and a tablespoon of Parmesan.

Step 6

Bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with basil and parsley leaves. Serve over spaghetti.
