Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Breasts

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of bread crumbs and grated Parmesan in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Season the flour with salt and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture. Press the crumbs onto the chicken to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

Making Marinara Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 7

    Cook the Penne

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 8

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Pour the marinara sauce over the fried chicken breasts in the baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  2. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve the baked chicken over a bed of penne pasta, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
