The Best Chicken Parmesan with breaded chicken, covered in marinara and bubbly mozzarella cheese. This classic recipe is surprisingly quick and easy to make.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prep three dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Pound chicken breasts to ½ inch thick. If necessary, you can cut large breasts in half. Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to eliminate mess.
Dip chicken in flour, then eggs, then bread crumb mix -- make sure it's well coated in each step.
Cook in olive oil in a large pan, browning on each side, which should take about four minutes per side.
Place one cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 dish, then lay the chicken on top. Divide the remaining marinara sauce across the top of each piece of chicken, then top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until internal chicken temperature reaches 165 degrees. You can top with fresh chopped basil before serving over spaghetti.
