Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Oil for frying
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 6 pieces Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) to ensure even cooking.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up three shallow bowls for the breading process. Add the flour to the first bowl. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the Italian-style breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off.
Press the chicken into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until thoroughly coated.
Repeat steps 5-7 (flour, egg, and breadcrumb coating) for a 'double dip' that ensures a thicker, crispier crust.
Heat the frying oil in a deep skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower each piece of breaded chicken into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place the fried chicken breasts on top of the marinara sauce. Spoon an additional 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken.
Top each piece of chicken with a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot, preferably with cooked spaghetti or a side salad.
