Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. In a separate shallow dish, combine the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and then into the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and top each piece with the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and top with the marinara sauce. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and serve.
