Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Coat each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and place in a baking dish.
Step 3: Add Marinara Sauce
Pour marinara sauce over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 4: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the Chicken Parmesan hot with a side of pasta or salad.
