Ingredients
Method
- Set the oven to 450°F so it can fully preheat.
- Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create thin, even cutlets.
- Pat the chicken dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the eggs in one shallow bowl and mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan, and garlic powder in another.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the eggs, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken about 2 minutes per side until golden but not cooked through.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the bottom of a large baking dish and arrange the chicken on top.
- Spoon more sauce over each piece of chicken, then top with mozzarella and the remaining parmesan.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken reaches 165°F internally, about 10–15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.

Notes
Golden, bubbly, and deeply comforting, this chicken parmesan is the kind of meal that makes everyone wander into the kitchen before it's even served. The smell alone promises something special, and every bite delivers that cozy, homemade magic.
