Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 2
Dredge the Chicken
Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Cooking
- 3
Fry 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 until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Assemble the Dish
After frying, place the chicken breasts in a large baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over each piece, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- 5
Bake
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Parmesan with pasta or a fresh salad.
