Cooking Instructions

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

Bread the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Dish
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Place the fried chicken on top, then cover each piece with more marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
