Ingredients for Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Breasts: 2, boneless and skinless
Marinara Sauce: 1/2 cup (homemade or store-bought)
Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup, freshly grated
Mozzarella Cheese: 1/4 cup, shredded
Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
Salt and Pepper: To taste
Fresh Basil: For garnish (optional)
Pasta: Cooked, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the chicken.
Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Add the Toppings:
Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a baking dish.
Spoon marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the Chicken:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
If you prefer a slightly crispy top, you can turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Serve:
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Serve the Chicken Parmesan over cooked pasta, zucchini noodles, or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
