Ingredients

• 2 large Chicken Breasts
• 0.5 cup All-purpose Flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 2 cups Marinara Sauce
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella Cheese
• 0.25 cup Olive Oil
• 1 handful Fresh Basil(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thin cutlets.

   Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of breadcrumbs and half the parmesan.

3. 3

   Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in egg, and coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.

4. 4

   Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

5. 5

   Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the chicken, then top with mozzarella and the remaining parmesan.

6. 6

   Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked through.

7. 7

   Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
