Making Baked Chicken Parmesan is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in one, whisked eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it gently to adhere.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the breaded chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the tops of the chicken with olive oil, which helps them achieve a crispy exterior.
7. Bake Chicken: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
8. Add Marinara and Cheese: After 20 minutes, remove the dish from the oven. Top each chicken breast evenly with marinara sauce, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
9. Return to Oven: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Following these steps will ensure that your Baked Chicken Parmesan turns out perfectly every time.
