Homemade Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Bake the Chicken: Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot with pasta or a side salad.
