To make Herb-Infused Chicken Parmesan, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, prepare the chicken by pounding it to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Next, prepare the breading station by placing the flour in a shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another shallow dish, and the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and chopped herbs in a third shallow dish. Mix the breadcrumb mixture well to combine.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip the chicken in the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it well. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks.
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 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 breast with a generous spoonful of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot with additional marinara sauce and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
Herb-Infused Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is sure to impress your guests.
