Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup fresh basil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup prepared tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh mozzarella
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup grated provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, ensuring they’re well-coated.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the breaded chicken until golden brown on both sides—about 3-4 minutes each side.
- Spread a layer of tomato sauce in a baking dish, place the fried chicken on top, and cover with more sauce.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked through.
