Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Set up a breading station: one dish with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan.

3. 3

   Dredge each chicken cutlet first in flour, then dip in egg, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.

4. 4

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. They don't need to be cooked through.

5. 5

   Place fried chicken in a single layer in a baking dish. Top each cutlet with about 1/2 cup marinara sauce, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and remaining grated Parmesan.

6. 6

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and chicken is cooked through.

7. 7

   Serve hot, typically with spaghetti or other pasta.
