Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into eggs, then coat in breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
