Cuisine: Italian-American Servings: 4 Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
Chicken & Breading:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (beaten with 2 tablespoons of water)
- 1½ cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Oil for frying
Toppings:
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness (about ¼ inch). Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Dredge and Bread: Set up three bowls—one with flour, another with beaten eggs and water, and the third with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan. Coat each chicken piece in flour, dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Chicken: In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry each chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Place fried chicken on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the fried chicken on a baking sheet, spoon marinara sauce over each piece, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with chopped basil or parsley and serve immediately, ideally with a side of pasta or garlic bread
Tips
- Reheat Options: For a crispy reheating method, use an air fryer at 350°F for 6-8 minutes or bake in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes
- Variations: Try using Panko breadcrumbs for an extra crunchy texture, or switch up the cheese with provolone or a mix of mozzarella and asiago for a different flavor profile
