Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (50 g)
  • 1 tsp salt (5 g)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (5 g)

  • 2 cups marinara sauce (480 mL)
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (170 g)
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (15 g)

Directions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thin cutlets.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the Italian breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  5. Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish and spoon marinara sauce evenly over each piece.
  6. Top with the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  8. Garnish with chopped basil and serve warm.
