Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, take the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Dredge the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs until well combined. In the third dish, add the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Assemble the Dish
After the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece of chicken, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and additional Parmesan cheese.

Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil. Serve hot with pasta or a side salad.
