To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, pound the chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Next, set up a breading station by placing the flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese in separate shallow dishes. Dip the chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it in the panko mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breast and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and top it with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The Crispy Panko-Crusted Chicken Parmesan is a mouthwatering dish that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The combination of the crispy panko crust, tangy marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese creates a perfect balance of flavors that will leave you wanting more.
This dish can be classified as a main course and its three main ingredients are chicken breast, panko breadcrumbs, and marinara sauce.
