Introduction
This Stuffed Chicken Parmesan is a delicious, easy, one-pan meal that is crispy on the outside and incredibly juicy on the inside. Stuffed with gooey mozzarella and baked in a rich marinara sauce, it's a crowd-pleasing twist on a classic Italian-American favorite.
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 3/4 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, cut a deep slit/pocket horizontally into the thickest part of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 3
Stuff each pocket with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese, then press the edges together to seal.
Step 4
Set up a three-bowl breading station: place flour in the first bowl, beat 2 eggs in the second bowl, and mix bread crumbs with grated parmesan cheese in the third bowl.
Step 5
Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the flour (tapping off excess), dip it fully in the beaten eggs, and then thoroughly coat with the bread crumb and parmesan mixture.

Important Notes
To prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking, make sure not to slice all the way through the chicken breast when cutting the pocket.
Using an oven-safe skillet (like cast iron or a stainless steel pan) allows you to transition smoothly from stovetop searing to oven baking.
For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour and use gluten-free bread crumbs or crushed crackers.
