Description
Tender chicken, rich marinara, and gooey cheese create perfection!
Ingredients
2.5 – 3 lb chicken breast (1.1 – 1.4 kg)
1 egg
1 cup grated parmesan cheese (100 g)
1/2 tbsp dried minced garlic
1/2 tbsp dried minced onion
1/2 tbsp dried oregano
1/2 tbsp dried basil 1/2 tbsp dried parsley
1/4 tbsp freshly ground black pepper pinch salt
1 cup marinara sauce (240 ml) 6 oz shredded mozzarella (170 g)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
Beat egg in one small wide bowl. In a second bowl combine the parmesan cheese with all the spices and mix.
Dip each piece of chicken in the egg and then the cheese, coating both sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-30 min. You want the chicken to be about 145-150°F (63-66°C) before you add the sauce and the cheese.
Top each piece with sauce and then shredded mozzarella. Bake for another 5-10 min until the chicken is 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer and the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can broil for a minute or two at the end to brown the cheese.
