Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Beat an egg in one bowl. In another bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
  3. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then, coat with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, ensuring a full coverage for that crunchy texture.
  4. Arrange the coated chicken in your prepared baking dish and drizzle with olive oil to achieve that golden-brown crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Ladle marinara sauce over each piece of chicken after removing it from the oven. Top generously with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Serve immediately while hot, drizzled with more marinara sauce if desired. Your Cheesy Chicken Parm is ready to impress!
