Directions:1. Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200 degrees. Spread the flour in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in a second shallow dish. Spread the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish. 2. Pound the chicken to an even thickeness, about 1/2-inch. Pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dredge through flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs. Press on the breadcrumbs to make sure they adhere. Lay the breaded chicken on a plate. 3. Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add two pieces of chicken and cook until light golden brown on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes. 4. Drain the chicken briefly on paper towels, then transfer to a paper-towel lined plate and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining breaded chicken. 5. After cooking, place the breaded chicken over cooling rack placed inside a rimmed baking sheet. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Spoon 1/4 cup marinara over the top of each chicken breast, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon of shredded Parmesan. Bake the chicken until the cheese has melted and browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. 6. Serve with pasta and remaining marinara sauce. |
