Creating Chicken Parmesan is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
3. Set Up Breading Station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in another dish, and put the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium-high heat.
6. Fry Chicken: Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Once browned, transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
8. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
