Simple Italian Chicken Parmigiana Recipe: A Classic You Can Make at Home

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan in three separate shallow bowls.

Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in eggs, and coat in breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.

Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken breasts 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4
Place fried chicken in a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece and top with shredded mozzarella.

Step 5
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley.

Step 6
Serve hot over spaghetti or your favorite pasta if desired.
