Preparation

Step 1

Pound chicken breasts to within 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in egg and let excess drip off, then dredge on both sides in the bread crumbs.

Divide the oil between 2 large sauté pans and heat over high heat until almost smoking. Add 2 chicken breasts to each pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer to a baking sheet and top each breast with some tomato sauce, mozzarella, salt and pepper, a tablespoon of Parmesan. Bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 5 – 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with basil or parsley leaves.
