Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Breading Process
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Cooking the Chicken

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Sauce Preparation

Make the Tomato Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes, adding dried oregano and basil. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assemble the Dish
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce at the bottom. Place the fried chicken breasts on top, then spoon more sauce over each piece. Finally, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
