Title: Homemade Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 3 large eggs
– 2 cups breadcrumbs
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups marinara sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
2. First, prep the chicken breasts by pounding them to an even thickness using a meat mallet. This helps the chicken cook evenly and ensures a tender result.
3. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
5. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
6. Remove the dish from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
7. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Once done, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Voila! Your homemade chicken parmesan is ready to be served and enjoyed. Serve it over cooked pasta or with a side of garlic bread for a complete and satisfying meal. This recipe is perfect for cozy family dinners or when you want to impress guests with your culinary skills. Dig in and savor the flavors of this delicious dish inspired by restaurant favorites!
