Chicken Ingredients

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Flattened for even cooking
1 cup bread crumbs For coating
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Grated
2 large eggs Beaten for the egg wash

Sauce and Topping Ingredients

2 cups tomato sauce Store-bought or homemade

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Flatten the chicken breasts using a meat mallet for even cooking.
Prepare three bowls: one with bread crumbs, one with beaten eggs, and one with grated Parmesan.
Dip each chicken breast first in the egg wash and then in the bread crumbs to coat.

Cooking

In a skillet, add oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
Top each chicken with tomato sauce and then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
