Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1-inch thickness.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper; in another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat; fry the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in a large baking dish; place fried chicken breasts on top and spoon remaining sauce over them.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and sauce.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
