Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
If chicken breasts are thick, pound them to an even thickness.
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches.
Pour marinara sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Top with shredded mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese.
Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
