Total time: 50 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 2 eggs; 1 cup breadcrumbs; 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese; Salt and pepper, to taste; 1 cup marinara sauce; 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese; Fresh basil leaves, for garnish; Olive oil, for frying

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Start by preparing the chicken breasts. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Set up your breading station by placing the flour in a shallow dish, whisking the eggs in another shallow dish, and combining the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third dish. Season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet. Top each chicken breast with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
