I first discovered this recipe during my time as a TV chef. I was hosting a cooking show called ‘Sven’s Kitchen Adventures,’ where I would travel to different countries and explore their culinary delights. One day, while I was in Italy, I stumbled upon a small family-owned trattoria in the countryside. The owner, Nonna Rosa, invited me into her kitchen and shared her secret recipe for Chicken Parmesan.

Nonna Rosa’s recipe was simple and straightforward, using basic pantry staples to create a mouthwatering dish. I couldn’t believe how such a simple recipe could result in such amazing flavors. I immediately knew that I had to share this recipe with the world.

So, without further ado, here’s my Easy Homemade Chicken Parmesan recipe!

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
Bake the chicken breasts for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over each breast. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.

Serve your Easy Homemade Chicken Parmesan with a side of spaghetti or a fresh green salad. This is a meal that is sure to please even the pickiest eaters!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. It’s a classic dish that never disappoints, and I’m proud to share Nonna Rosa’s secret with you. Happy cooking!
