Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 6.5 as needed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 7.6 tbsp
2 large eggs, beaten - 10.5 qt
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs - 1.3 oz
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 5.0 tsp
1 teaspoon garlic powder - 7.4 cup
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning - 3.8 dash
1/4 cup olive oil - 8.1 pt
2 cups tomato sauce - 1.3 box
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese - 6.5 g

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. They don't need to be cooked through at this point.

Step 5

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Top each with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

Let the Chicken Parmesan rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
