Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the chicken breasts and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Season the Chicken
Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt and black pepper.
Breading Process

Set Up Breading Station
In one shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second shallow bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well mixed. In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- 4
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken with the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Cooking
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
- 6
Fry the Chicken
Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Dish
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken breasts on top. Spoon more marinara sauce over each piece of chicken, and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- 8
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a golden top.
Serving

Serve
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve hot over pasta or with a side salad.
