Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lightly spray a pie plate or a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
- Combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and salt in a shallow dish (I use a paper plate). Place egg in a separate shallow dish.
- Dip each side of each chicken breast in egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on prepared pan.
- Bake for 18 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until done.
- Take the chicken out and switch the oven to BROIL.
- Divide the sauce evenly and pour over each piece of chicken. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella cheese.
- Broil 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Tips:
- Use a good quality chicken breast. This will ensure that your chicken parmesan is tender and juicy.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will add flavor to the chicken.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in flour. This will help the bread crumbs adhere to the chicken.
- Dip the chicken breasts in the beaten eggs. This will help the bread crumbs stick to the chicken.
- Coat the chicken breasts in bread crumbs. Press the bread crumbs firmly into the chicken so that they adhere well.
- Pan-fry the chicken breasts in olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Top the chicken breasts with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve.

Chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a classic Italian dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give chicken parmesan a try!
