To make Panko-Crusted Chicken Parmesan, 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
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, 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. Place the flour in a shallow dish, the beaten egg in another shallow dish, and the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third shallow dish. Dip the chicken 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.
Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over the top. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and return the chicken to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot.
Panko-Crusted Chicken Parmesan is a mouthwatering dish that is sure to please any crowd. The crispy panko breadcrumbs and savory Parmesan cheese add a delicious crunch to the tender chicken, while the marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese create a rich and flavorful sauce. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion.
