Check out the recipe card below for exact measurements.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chicken Breasts:<\/strong> The main protein of the dish. You can also use chicken thighs if you want!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Help the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken. They also make the outside nice and crispy!<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/plain-panko-bread-crumbs-8oz-market-pantry-8482\/-\/A-14655043#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Panko Breadcrumbs<\/a>:<\/strong> Special breadcrumbs that are crunchier and make the chicken coating more textured and crispy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour:<\/strong> Mixed with the breadcrumbs to create the coating. <\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Italian Seasoning:<\/a><\/strong> A mix of dried herbs like oregano and basil that give the dish tasty Italian flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and Pepper:<\/strong> Basic seasonings that make the chicken taste even better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetable Oil:<\/strong> The oil that makes the chicken crispy and golden when frying.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/easiest-homemade-marinara\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Marinara Sauce<\/a>:<\/strong> I recommend using homemade marinara sauce, but your favorite jarred marinara will also work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mozzarella Cheese:<\/strong> Melty cheese that\u2019s gooey and creamy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parmesan Cheese:<\/strong> A salty, aged cheese that adds extra flavor. The perfect finishing touch!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uncooked Pasta:<\/strong> I used spaghetti noodles, but any type of pasta will work here. Penne pasta is another great option because it traps all the tasty, cheesy sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-let-s-make-chicken-marinara\">Let\u2019s Make Chicken Marinara!<\/h2>\n<p>Grab those ingredients, because it\u2019s time to make a knockout dinner! Chicken marinara is SO good. Simple to make, super hearty, and packed with cheesy tomato flavor. Even picky eaters in your family will be licking their plates.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prepping-the-chicken\">Prepping the Chicken<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Preheat Oven, Prep Baking Dish: <\/strong>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, prepare a 9X13 inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare Breading: <\/strong>In a shallow platter or plate, whisk the eggs. In a separate platter or plate whisk together the breadcrumbs, flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Then have a third plate ready to hold the breaded chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dip In Egg: <\/strong>One cutlet at a time, dip the chicken in the eggs, coating evenly. Then allow the excess egg to drip off the cutlet before moving the chicken to the next platter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coat Chicken: <\/strong>Place the egg coated chicken cutlet in the cheesy breadcrumb mixture, coat all sides completely. Place the breaded chicken onto the empty plate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sear: <\/strong>In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil up over medium heat. Once the oil has heated up, add the breaded chicken to the pan 2 cutlets at a time. Then cook each cutlet for about 4-5 minutes per side, just enough to brown each side.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creating-chicken-marinara\">Creating Chicken Marinara<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Add to Baking Dish: <\/strong>Pour half of the marinara sauce into your prepared baking dish, place each breaded chicken breast into the baking dish in an even layer. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top With Cheese, Then Bake: <\/strong>Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top of the sauce covered chicken. Then cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continue Baking: <\/strong>Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-30 minutes. The internal temperature of the chicken needs to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook Your Pasta: <\/strong>While the chicken is baking, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enjoy: <\/strong>Remove the chicken from the oven and serve over the cooked pasta. Top with fresh herbs if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"4-photo collage of the chicken being breaded and added to a baking dish along with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan.\" class=\"wp-image-227126\" style=\"width:800px\" title=\"Herb-crusted chicken breasts coated in mozzarella, parmesan, and Italian seasoning, all smothered in homemade marinara sauce.

It locks in the juiciness and adds a nice golden color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Cheese Last<\/strong>: Don\u2019t forget to sprinkle the cheese on top towards the end of baking! It\u2019s the perfect golden, bubbly finishing touch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Red Pepper Flakes:<\/strong> If you want your dish to have a little heat, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes!<\/li>\n<li><strong>When to Start Cooking Your Pasta: <\/strong>Start boiling your pasta once you take the foil off your chicken marinara and then pop it back in the oven.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let it Rest<\/strong>: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after it\u2019s done baking.
