Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Dredge the Chicken
Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Cooking

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Dish
In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken breasts on top of the sauce, then cover each breast with the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

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