Breading Process
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with half of the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

Frying 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. Remove the chicken and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Baking
In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken breasts on top of the sauce. Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with the rest of the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.
