Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breast boneless skinless chicken breasts ( about 2 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 marinara sauce batch of quick homemade
- 4 teaspoons basil pesto
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Notes
- Use fresh chicken breasts and slice each in half by length so the chicken cooks faster.
- If you want to keep the chicken breasts without slicing in half lengthwise, increase the cooking time on each side by 3 minutes.
- Add some garlic powder or onion powder if you prefer that flavor.
- Use store bought Marinara sauce if you think the homemade one is a hassle, but add a teaspoon of basil pesto to your store bought marinara for a boost of flavor!
- Adding basil pesto over each chicken breast creates incredible flavor to the chicken parmesan along with some grated fresh parmesan.
- Make the whole recipe in advance and freeze it for up to 3 months. Or make it ahead of time and refrigerate it for 4 days before serving.
- Make the chicken parmesan into individual long ramekins rather than a single shallow dish or baking dish.
