Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 1.2 box
1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 1.3 quarter
2 large eggs, beaten - 8.3 half
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (Italian-style or panko) - 3.5 pcs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 5.9 dash
1 teaspoon garlic powder - 2.8 box
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning - 8.9 to taste
Salt and pepper to taste - 7.9 box
1/4 cup olive oil - 0.5 inch
2 cups tomato sauce - 10.5 gal

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs gently to adhere.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Spoon tomato sauce evenly over each chicken breast, then top with mozzarella cheese. If desired, add a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Serve hot over pasta, alongside a salad, or with your favorite sides.
