Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 3.5 cm
1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 9.5 lb
2 large eggs, beaten - 7.1 fl oz
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned) - 5.1 ml
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 3.9 inch
1 teaspoon garlic powder - 5.4 whole
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning - 7.8 pcs
Salt and pepper to taste - 10.1 inch
1/4 cup olive oil - 2.1 package
1 (24 ounce) jar tomato sauce - 3.4 pt

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

Set up a breading station: In three separate shallow dishes, place 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 beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Step 5

Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Spoon tomato sauce over each chicken breast, covering it evenly.

Step 6

Top each chicken breast with slices of mozzarella cheese. Make sure the cheese covers the entire surface of the chicken.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. The chicken should be cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
