Chicken Parmesan Recipe (Classic, Oven-Baked)
Ingredients: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or cutlets), salt and pepper, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style if available), 1–2 cups shredded mozzarella, 1 cup grated Parmesan, 2 cups marinara sauce, 1–2 tsp olive oil (optional), chopped fresh basil (optional). Instructions: 1) Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking dish. 2) Pound chicken to even thickness (about 1/2–3/4 inch). Season with salt and pepper. 3) Set up breading: flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, breadcrumbs in a third. Coat chicken in flour → egg → breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. 4) Bake or pan-sear: For baking, place on a lightly oiled sheet and bake 15–20 minutes until cooked through (or pan-sear 3–4 minutes per side). 5) Spoon marinara into the baking dish, place chicken on top, spoon more sauce over each piece. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan. 6) Bake 10–15 minutes until bubbly and browned. Rest 2–3 minutes, then serve with pasta or a salad.

Tips for Best Results
Use a meat thermometer: chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). For extra crispness, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely). If your sauce is very thick, warm it slightly so it spreads easily. For a lighter option, you can bake instead of frying and use part-skim mozzarella.
