Delicious Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian-American dish that features breaded and fried chicken topped with marinara sauce and melted cheese. It's a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for dinner. Here's a recipe to help you make a delicious Chicken Parmesan:

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

For the Assembly:

• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated on all sides. Set the breaded chicken breasts aside.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Work in batches if needed, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
5. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a baking dish or sheet. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.
6. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Once cooked, remove the Chicken Parmesan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
8. Serve the Chicken Parmesan alongside pasta or with a side of salad. Enjoy!

Chicken Parmesan is best served hot, straight from the oven. The crispy breaded chicken, flavorful marinara sauce, and melted cheese create a delicious combination of textures and flavors.
