Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the breading station by placing the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and the eggs in a separate dish. Season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
3
Dip each chicken breast in the eggs and then coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5
Transfer the fried chicken breasts to a baking dish and spoon marinara sauce over each breast. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7
Serve the chicken parmesan hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a side of spaghetti or garlic bread.
