A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan, this recipe offers a crispy and cheesy experience with a simplified cooking process.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy finish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat it with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken for a better coating.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the coated chicken breasts on both sides.
Don't overcrowd the skillet to ensure even browning.
In a saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Simmering enhances the flavors of the sauce.
Place the browned chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the tomato sauce over them.
Ensure the chicken is evenly covered with sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
For a golden crust, use a mix of cheeses.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness.
