Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Trader Joe’s Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Trader Joe’s Marinara Sauce

Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread half of the marinara sauce onto the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the cooked chicken breasts over the sauce, then top each breast with a spoonful of the remaining marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each chicken breast, then add a few leaves of fresh basil on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
