Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pound chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thickness and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 2: Set up breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with 1/4 cup parmesan. Coat each chicken breast in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook breaded chicken 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 4: Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Top each piece with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and remaining parmesan.

Step 5: Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip: Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for consistent cooking. Use a wire rack over a baking sheet for extra crispy coating.

Save by using Use sale-priced Perdue chicken breasts and Francesco Rinaldi sauce to keep costs down while still enjoying restaurant-quality Italian. and Serve with Spaghetti or garlic bread and a fresh salad.
