Stuffed Chicken Parmesan is a cheesy, saucy explosion. This dish is just as easy as making regular chicken Parmesan but is somehow even more decadent. You’ll love it if you think extra cheese is always a good idea! Stuffing a chicken breast may sound complicated, but the technique is actually something any home cook can tackle and master. Make sure to look for thick chicken breasts—they’re much easier to split and stuff. Make this recipe for an easy weeknight meal or if you’re having a nice dinner party. It looks beautifully presented in a pan or on top of pasta. Serve it with a side salad and a little garlic bread for a hearty, complete meal.

Ingredients

Garnish

Chopped parsley

1/2 pound Fresh mozzarella
2 1/2 cups Marinara sauce
1/4 cup Olive oil
Pepper
Salt
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
2 Eggs
1 cup All-purpose flour
2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
4 Chicken breasts

Method

01

Gather the ingredients.
02

Preheat the oven to 400 ºF. Split the chicken breasts with a chef’s knife. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
03

Stuff the center with a 1/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella.
04

Fold the top half of the chicken over the top of the mozzarella stuffing. If it is too full and the edges don’t seal, take a little of the mozzarella cheese out.
05

Prepare your breading station. Toss some of the salt and pepper with the flour in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs with a little salt and pepper in another shallow bowl. Toss the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese in a third shallow bowl.
06

Dip the stuffed chicken breast into the flour, then flip to coat both sides in the flour mixture.
07

Dip the flour coated chicken into the egg mixture. Flip to coat both sides.
08

Dip the egg coated chicken into the breadcrumbs and cover both sides thickly.
09

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken cutlets so that they fit snugly. but aren’t overlapping. If you need to do it in two pans, you can. Fry on both sides until golden brown. They do not have to be cooked through.
10

Add the marinara sauce around the outside of the cutlets and a little on the top of each cutlet.
11

Top the cutlets with a few slices of fresh mozzarella.
12

Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the center reads 165 ºF.
13

Serve the hot chicken with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese on top of pasta with extra marinara sauce if you wish.
