How to Make Chicken Breast With Tomato Sauce And Mozzarella
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- In another shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Arrange the browned chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- At this point, you can cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
- Spread 1/4 to 1/3 cup marinara sauce (adjust for the number of breasts) evenly over each chicken breast.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baking time depends on the thickness of the breasts; thinner breasts will cook faster.
- Remove from oven and top each breast with 1-2 slices of mozzarella cheese.
- Return to the oven for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra browning.
