Baked Chicken Parmesan: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper

– 2 cups marinara sauce
– 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Creating Baked Chicken Parmesan is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Coating: In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
3. Prepare Chicken: Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. This helps the coating adhere better.
4. Whisk Eggs: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
5. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching for even cooking.
7. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
8. Add Sauce and Cheese: Remove from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over each piece of chicken. Top liberally with shredded mozzarella cheese.
9. Broil for Finish: Return to the oven and switch to broil. Broil for about 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Rest: Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, letting the flavors meld.

These steps will guide you smoothly through creating this wonderful Baked Chicken Parmesan that is sure to impress.
