Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 spray bottle Olive oil spray
• 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 optional Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil; lightly spray it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined. In another shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere evenly.

Step 6

Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 7

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce.

Step 9

Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve hot. Enjoy your no-fry Chicken Parmesan with pasta, salad, or steamed vegetables!
