Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Breading the Chicken

    Set up a breading station: in one bowl, place the flour; in the second, beat the eggs; and in the third, mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast in flour, then egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Chicken Parmesan

    Transfer the fried chicken cutlets to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over each cutlet and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot with pasta or a side salad.
