Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 9.7 oz
1 cup all-purpose flour - 7.8 l
2 large eggs, beaten - 4.1 ml
2 cups Italian breadcrumbs - 4.6 pinch
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 3.4 qt
1 teaspoon garlic powder - 3.8 tsp
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning - 5.1 as needed
Salt and pepper to taste - 1.1 box
1/4 cup olive oil - 8.7 cup
2 cups tomato sauce - 9.5 dash

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet 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 flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Do not fully cook the chicken at this stage.

Step 5

Place the partially cooked chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Top each with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Serve with your favorite pasta.

I found this recipe to be very bland. The chicken lacked flavor, and the sauce was not as good as I hoped.
