Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk eggs. Dredge each chicken breast in the eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. They don't need to be cooked through at this point.
Transfer chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Top each with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and additional Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and chicken is cooked through.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
The best chicken parmesan recipe I have ever tried. Simple to make, with incredible results. My family devoured it! Thank you!
It was okay. The chicken was a little dry, and the breading didn't stick as well as I would have liked. The sauce was good, though. I might try it again, but I'll try a different breading technique.
Very good recipe. I liked the simplicity and the taste. I might try a different type of cheese next time for variety.
The breading could have been crispier. The chicken was a little bland. The sauce was good, but it could use more seasoning.
This recipe is a winner! The chicken was perfectly cooked, the sauce was flavorful, and the cheese was gooey and delicious. A perfect comfort food!
