Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the chicken breasts and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Breading and Cooking

  1. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coverage.

  2. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Baking

  1. 6

    Assemble the Chicken Parmigiana

    Place fried chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce evenly over each piece, then sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Garnishing

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil, and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
