How to Make Chicken Parmesan With Basil Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  3. Place 1 cup all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast (about 4, 150g each) in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs lightly.
  5. Dip each floured chicken breast into the egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a complete coating.
  6. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly oiled.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 74°C/165°F).
  8. While the chicken is baking, prepare your basil dressing (recipe below).
  9. Serve the baked chicken breasts over a bed of endive and arugula. Drizzle generously with the basil dressing.
