Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Generously season both chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl until well mixed. Combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in another bowl.
- Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the eggs, letting the excess drip off. Coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.

Notes
For an even crispier coating, add a little cornstarch to your breadcrumbs. Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying for even cooking.
