Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of marinara sauce
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Chicken Parmesan, also known as Chicken Parmigiana, is a classic Italian-American dish that has become a staple in many restaurants and home kitchens. The dish consists of breaded and fried chicken cutlets topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, then typically served over a bed of pasta. Its origins can be traced back to Italian immigrants in the United States, particularly in the New York and New Jersey regions. The dish has since become popular across the country and is often associated with traditional Italian-American cuisine. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Italian restaurants that prioritize using high-quality ingredients and traditional cooking methods. The key to a delicious chicken parmesan lies in the crispy, golden-brown breading of the chicken, the rich and flavorful marinara sauce, and the gooey, melted mozzarella cheese. Some chefs also add a sprinkle of Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese for an extra savory kick. While the traditional method involves frying the chicken cutlets, some variations opt for baking the chicken for a lighter, healthier twist on the classic recipe. Whether enjoyed in a cozy Italian trattoria or prepared at home with a personal touch, chicken parmesan continues to be a beloved comfort food that brings people together over a hearty, satisfying meal.
