Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC) to ensure it is ready for baking.
  2. Process the dry Italian bread in a food processor or blender until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  3. In a shallow bowl, mix the homemade breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Pound the boneless chicken breasts between plastic wrap until they are about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
  5. Whisk the egg in a separate shallow bowl until smooth and slightly beaten.
  6. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
  7. Press the egg-coated chicken into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture until thoroughly covered.
  8. Heat the salad oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  11. Place the chicken in a 2-quart shallow baking dish (approximately 12x8 inches).
  12. Spoon the Prego marinara sauce evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
  13. Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  14. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
