Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Set up a breading station: dredge each breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing firmly.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each breaded chicken breast for about 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Place seared chicken in the baking dish; cover each piece with marinara sauce and sprinkle generously with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
