Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Dredging Station

    Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

    Coat the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the fried chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece, then top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake

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

  7. 7
