Recipe: Deliciously Easy Chicken Parmesan

Preparation time: 15 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Serves: 4

Ingredients: - 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - 1 cup breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 2 eggs, beaten - 1/4 cup olive oil - 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 2. Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and flatten to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. 3. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. In another dish, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken piece into the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. 4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. 5. Pour marinara sauce into the skillet, bringing it to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 10 minutes. 6. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and place the skillet in the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5-10 minutes. 7. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot.
