Prepare Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Tenderize the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season both sides with salt and pepper.

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

Coat Chicken
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce on the bottom. Place fried chicken on top, then cover with the remaining marinara sauce.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each chicken breast.
