Method
 

How to Make Chicken Parmesan
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Set up your dredging station with three bowls: one filled with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Italian-style breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast by coating it in flour, dunking it in eggs, and finally rolling it in breadcrumbs.
  4. Fry the chicken in a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Cook each breast for about 4-5 minutes on both sides until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Arrange the fried chicken in a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over each piece, then layer it with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
