Chicken Parmesan

 

This is a wonderful easy dinner! Takes only about forty minutes to and will leave your whole family satisfied for sure. It’s actually one of my top go-to dinners. There are few simple ingredients that are put together in one simple, delicious classic meal. You can serve it with any side dish that you desire, whether it’s pasta, veggies or a side salad.

Ingredients:

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 1/2 cups of Italian bread crumbs

1/2 cup of dry Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dry basil

salt/pepper

2 eggs

Jar of four cheese marinara sauce

4-5 fresh basil leaves

1 clove of garlic

1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

Directions:
~ Preheat the oven to 350.
1. Cut fat of the chicken breast.
2. Carefully slice the breast in half widthwise. Repeat with all 3 chicken breasts.

3.  In a wide bowl, whisk the eggs with some salt and pepper. In a separate dish mix Italian bread crumbs, dry Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dry basil, salt and pepper.

4. Bread each chicken breast half: press both sides in crumbs first, then dip in egg mixture, then press in crumbs again on both sides.

5.Place breaded chicken pieces into the well oiled baking dish.

6. Bake the chicken for 15-17 minutes. Flip to the other side and bake for another 10 minutes. (Bake time will depend of the thickness of your chicken.)

7. While chicken in baking, mix marinara sauce, minced fresh basil and pressed garlic together in a small sauce pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to simmer. Add salt to taste. Take off heat.

8. Add marinara sauce on top of each chicken breast. (You can add as much or as little at you prefer, but I like to cover it completely.)

9. Sprinkle each chicken breast with Mozzarella cheese and bake for another 10 minutes.
