To make Chicken Parmigiana, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil, for garnish

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, prepare your chicken by pounding it to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Next, set up your breading station. In one bowl, add the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it's fully coated. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and top each piece with tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or for entertaining guests. The Chicken Parmigiana is a delicious and satisfying meal that will leave you wanting more!
