Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.

Prepare Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip into beaten eggs, then coat evenly with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Bake Chicken

Place coated chicken on the baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.

Bake for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C) and golden brown.

Add Sauce and Cheese

Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese melts and is bubbly.

Serve

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

Serve with spaghetti, garlic bread, or a fresh salad.

Tips & Variations:

For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the breadcrumb mixture.

Use fresh mozzarella slices for a creamier texture.

Make it keto-friendly by substituting breadcrumbs with crushed pork rinds or almond flour.
