Italian Baked Chicken Recipe

Monday, September 22, 2014 8:45

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

During the colder months an excellent recipe to prepare in the oven is Italian baked chicken. This recipe consists of chicken coated with breadcrumbs and topped with marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. You can use your favorite brand of marinara sauce or even make your own if you want. This dish is very similar to chicken parmesan with the addition of ricotta cheese. The ingredients can easily be doubled if you want to make enough to serve 4 people. I like to serve this recipe with extra heated marinara and linguini noodles. Enjoy.

Italian Baked Chicken

Yield: 2 Servings

Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup Italian breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
1 egg (beaten)
¼ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup marinara sauce
1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
½ cup mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. On a deep plate or pie dish combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl add the beaten egg. Dip the chicken first into the egg and then coat with the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Pat in any excess breadcrumbs. Place chicken breasts onto the baking sheet.
Place into the oven and bake at 425 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 Degrees F.) and golden brown
Remove from the oven and spread a layer of ricotta cheese over the chicken breasts. Spread a layer of marinara sauce over the cheese and ½ tablespoon of fresh basil over the marinara sauce. Top with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
Place back into the oven and broil at 450 degrees F. for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Top with additional basil and parmesan cheese if desired.
