- Parmesan cheese – ½ cup, grated
- Olive oil – 2 tbsp

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken later.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½ inch for uniform cooking.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess to avoid a clumpy coating.
- Dip the floured chicken into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a baking dish, then place the fried chicken on top.
- Top each chicken breast with the remaining marinara sauce, followed by mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Golden and glorious, this chicken parmesan comes out with a perfect crunch giving way to tender, juicy chicken beneath. Serve it over a bed of spaghetti or alongside a crisp green salad for a meal that feels like a hug in a dish.
