Ingredients

Steps

Steps

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thin pieces and season both sides with salt and pepper

Step 3

Place flour in one shallow dish. Beat the egg in a second shallow dish. Mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a third shallow dish.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken piece in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off. Coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shallow fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 6

In a baking tray, cover chicken with marinara sauce and the mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 7

garnish with basil leaves if desired
