Instructions for making chicken parmesan:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a shallow dish, mix together all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, beat eggs.
- In a third shallow dish, place breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then in breadcrumbs, making sure each breast is evenly coated.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil or vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Fry chicken breasts until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer chicken breasts to a baking dish.
- Spoon tomato sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves (if desired).
