Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts, but adjust based on your hungry crowd.
Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning the chicken before cooking; don’t skip this step!
Flour: Helps create that crispy coating that makes every bite so satisfying.
Eggs: These act as glue for the breadcrumbs; use large eggs for best results.
Breadcrumbs: I prefer Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs for added flavor and crunch.
Marinara Sauce: Use your favorite store-bought variety or homemade; richness matters here!
Mozzarella Cheese: Freshly shredded cheese melts beautifully and gives that classic stretch.
Parmesan Cheese: Adds depth of flavor; don’t skimp on the good stuff!
Basil Leaves: Fresh basil sprigs elevate the dish’s aroma and add a pop of color.

Let’s Make it together

Prep the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure they sear nicely without excess moisture.

Season and Dredge: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off any excess before moving on to the egg wash.

Bread It Up!: Dip each floured chicken breast into beaten eggs until well coated. Now transfer them into a plate filled with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating that will crisp beautifully when cooked.

Sear for Perfection: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil until shimmering. Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Skillet Sear each breaded chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Add Sauce and Cheese: Transfer seared chicken to a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce generously over each piece, then sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese liberally on top.

Bake Until Bubbly: Bake in your preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye out for that glorious golden brown finish!
