Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves chopped, for garnish (optional)
  • Spaghetti or pasta of your choice cooked, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the Chicken: Place the flour in a shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a third. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure it sticks.
  • Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking dish.
  • Bake with Sauce and Cheese: Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve hot. For a complete meal, serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, veggies or with bread.
