Preparation
To start, gather all the necessary ingredients: chicken breasts, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and olive oil. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish with olive oil.
Next, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, making sure they are not too thick or too thin. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and remains tender. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and set them aside. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat both sides. Then, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the greased casserole dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken breasts, making sure they are fully covered. This will provide moisture and flavor to the dish. Finally, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top, creating a deliciously cheesy layer.
Now, it’s time to bake the casserole. Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
