Make restaurant-quality chicken parmesan quickly using a simple skillet and baking method. This recipe delivers crispy, cheesy cutlets perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Set up a standard breading station: Place flour on one plate, beaten eggs on a second, and mix panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on a third plate.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet first in flour, shaking off excess. Dip it in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides completely.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Do not cook through.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon marinara sauce over each cutlet in the skillet. Top the sauce with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil before serving over pasta or with a side salad.

Notes

  • Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking and a tender final product.
  • Use high-quality marinara sauce for the best flavor in this quick chicken parmesan recipe.
  • If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the browned cutlets to a prepared baking dish before adding sauce and cheese.
