Prepare the Chicken:

• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

• Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, then dip them into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them in a mixture of breadcrumbs and ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Press gently to make sure the coating sticks.

Cook the Chicken:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

• Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Prepare the Parmesan Topping:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

• In the same skillet, add the marinara sauce and heat it through, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.

• Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, spoon some of the marinara sauce over each piece, then top with shredded mozzarella and the remaining ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake:

• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

• If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the chicken to a baking dish before topping with sauce and cheese.

Serve:

• Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

• This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or a fresh green salad.
