Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep Chicken:
- Pound chicken breasts evenly (use a meat mallet or rolling pin). Pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt & pepper.
2️⃣ Breading Station:
- Set up 3 shallow bowls:
- Bowl 1: Flour mixed with garlic powder.
- Bowl 2: Beaten eggs.
- Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs mixed with ½ cup Parmesan and dried basil.
3️⃣ Coat the Chicken:
- Dredge each breast in flour → dip in egg → press into breadcrumbs to coat.
4️⃣ Pan-Fry:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden (not fully cooked through). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
5️⃣ Assemble & Bake:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread ½ cup marinara in a baking dish. Arrange chicken in the dish. Top each piece with marinara, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until cheese melts and chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp).
6️⃣ Finish & Serve:
- Broil 1–2 minutes for bubbly cheese (optional). Garnish with fresh herbs. Serve over pasta, with garlic bread, or a green salad!
Tips:
- Quick hack: Use pre-shredded cheese or air-fry the breaded chicken for less oil.
- Gluten-free? Swap breadcrumbs for GF panko or almond flour.
- Make ahead: Prep chicken cutlets and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
Enjoy your crispy, cheesy Chicken Parm! 😊🍝
