• First, prepare the chicken: Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise and using a meat mallet or rolling pin pound them into thin cutlets.
• Then, sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the salt, pepper and set aside.

Next, let’s prepare the breading setup:

• In a bowl, combine flour with a teaspoon of salt and ½ tsp pepper then whisk together.
• In a separate bowl whisk the eggs together well with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a third bowl combine the breadcrumbs, herbs, and some parmesan.

Now that all is ready let’s begin the process of Breading:

• Coat each chicken breast in the flour and remove any excess by tapping it off.
• Next, dip the chicken into the beaten egg and allow any excess to drip off before proceeding.
• Dredge both sides of the chicken in bread crumbs and firmly press down to ensure the crumbs stick and form a smooth layer.

Pan-fry the breaded chicken

• In a large sauté pan, pour the olive oil and heat it over high heat until it shimmers. Add 2-3 chicken breasts at a time and cook them until they turn golden brown on both sides, which usually takes around 4 minutes per side.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

• Transfer the fried chicken to a baking sheet and top each breast with ½ cup marinara sauce, a generous amount of mozzarella cheese, and a tablespoon of Parmesan.
• Cook the chicken in the oven until it’s fully cooked and the cheese has melted and turned golden. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes.
• Afterward, take it out of the oven and add some basil and parsley leaves for garnish. Serve the chicken over spaghetti or fettuccine pasta.
