Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- kosher salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- dry bread crumbs
- light olive oil for frying, or as needed
- ricotta cheese
- shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- olive oil
- grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for topping
- marinara sauce, heated, or more as needed
- chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Get started by preheating your oven to a hot 500°F (260°C) and lining a rimmed baking sheet with foil for an easy cleanup.
To ensure your chicken cooks perfectly and stays tender, gently pound the breasts between plastic wrap until they are evenly thick; then, season both sides with salt and pepper before pressing them into flour for a light, even coating.
Give the chicken a quick dip in the beaten egg, then press it firmly into your breadcrumbs—making sure to coat the sides and both surfaces thoroughly for that perfect crunch.
Heat about a half-inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes per side until it’s a beautiful, crispy golden brown before moving it to your baking sheet.
Stir together the ricotta, Cheddar, spices, and a splash of olive oil to create a rich topping; spread this over the chicken, leaving a small border at the edges, and finish with a dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano and one last drizzle of oil.
Bake your chicken on the center rack for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is wonderfully melted and the meat is fully cooked (reaching an internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
For a restaurant-quality presentation, ladle warm marinara sauce in a wide circle on your plates, nestle the chicken in the center, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
