Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Top each breast with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Serve hot.
