Chicken Parmesan is a comforting, classic Italian-American dish featuring crispy breaded chicken fillets topped with marinara sauce and melted cheese. It’s golden, cheesy, and satisfying—perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Season chicken fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs, Parmesan, basil, oregano, and garlic powder mixed.
  3. Dredge each chicken fillet in flour, dip in eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Spread a bit of marinara in a baking dish. Place chicken on top and spoon more marinara over each piece.
  7. Top with additional Parmesan or mozzarella, if using.
  8. Bake for 15–20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and chicken is fully cooked.
  9. Serve hot over pasta or with a salad.

Notes

  • Pound chicken for thinner, crispier cutlets and faster cooking.
  • Add crushed red pepper to breadcrumbs for a spicy kick.
  • Air fry for a lighter version: 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven for best texture.
