Extra Cheesy Chicken Parmesan Casserole
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups of marinara sauce
- 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving. Enjoy!
