  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound to about 1 inch thick.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with Italian herbs in a third.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat in breadcrumbs until fully covered.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the fried cutlets to a baking dish, pour marinara sauce over them, and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
