A classic! Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a popular dish that’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
* 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
* 2 cloves of garlic, minced
* 1 cup of breadcrumbs
* 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 cup of marinara sauce
* 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
* Salt and pepper to taste
* Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
3. In a separate dish, beat the egg.
4. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, coating it completely, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Place the coated chicken on a plate or tray.
5. Heat about 1/2 inch (1 cm) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked through and golden brown.
6. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and spoon some marinara sauce over each breast.
7. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each breast.
8. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle some minced garlic over the top of each breast.
10. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
* To make the dish more crispy, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn.
* You can also add some chopped fresh parsley or basil on top of the chicken for extra flavor and color.
* If you want to make the dish more substantial, you can serve it with some pasta, garlic bread, or a side salad.
* You can also use different types of cheese, such as cheddar or provolone, if you prefer.
