Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • Collect all ingredients. Start by heating your oven to an inviting 450°F (230°C).
  • Position chicken breasts strategically between sheets of robust plastic. Give them a thorough pounding with the tenderizer until they're uniformly 1/2-inch thick.
  • Generously season with salt and pepper. Dust each breast with flour, ensuring an even spread on both sides.
  • Beat eggs lightly in a bowl. Mix bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in a second bowl. Dip the floured chicken into the eggs, then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Let the coated chicken rest for about 10-15 minutes.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the chicken until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Place fried chicken in a baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, then layer mozzarella, basil, provolone, and remaining Parmesan. Drizzle some olive oil on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).

Notes

For an extra zesty touch, pair this Chicken Parmesan with a side of al dente spaghetti.
