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.

  • 1/2 pound Fresh mozzarella

  • 2 1/2 cups Marinara sauce

  • 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.

    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.
