1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1 egg, beaten

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
In one bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning; in another bowl, beat the egg.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the coated chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
