Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Place the flour in another shallow dish and the beaten eggs in a third shallow dish.
4. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy.
6. Remove the chicken from the oven and evenly spoon the marinara sauce over each chicken breast. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Serve hot with your favorite pasta or salad.
