Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 shallow dish
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 cooking spray or olive oil
- 1 frying pan
- 1 tongs or spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 meat mallet or rolling pin for pounding chicken
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs total.
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces eggs
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- optional Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
- In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Set up a breading station with the flour in one dish, the egg mixture in the next, and the breadcrumb mixture in a third dish.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about ½ inch) for even cooking. Season each breast lightly with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip, and finally coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- While the chicken bakes, combine marinara sauce and heavy cream in a frying pan over low heat, stirring until heated through.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the creamy marinara sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
