Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Dredge the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Dish
In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken breasts on top of the sauce. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped basil.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a golden top.
