Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the steps to make this dish:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece of chicken and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving.
