Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Chicken
Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
Season and Dredge
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Sear Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish.
Bake Chicken
Pour marinara sauce over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 20 minutes.
Rest
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve hot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts. They will add a richer flavor and stay moist. Ensure they are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
To make Chicken Parmesan gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs. Ensure all other ingredients, such as the marinara sauce, are also gluten-free.
Yes, you can freeze Chicken Parmesan. Assemble the dish up to the baking step, then freeze. When ready to eat, bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) until heated through and bubbly, about 45-60 minutes.
Chicken Parmesan pairs well with pasta, such as spaghetti or linguine, a fresh green salad, garlic bread, or steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans.
Ensure the chicken is patted dry before dredging. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken, and let the breaded chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking. This helps the breading adhere better.
