Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Chicken Parmesan
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare three shallow dishes: flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and a mix of Panko, seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper in the third.
  3. Pound the chicken to a uniform thickness of about ½ inch and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. In a baking dish, layer marinara sauce, top with the browned chicken, and spoon more marinara over the chicken. Finish with mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let the Chicken Parmesan rest for a few minutes, then garnish with basil and parsley, and serve hot.
