Ingredients:
- Chicken breasts
- Flour
- Egg wash
- Seasoned breadcrumbs
- Oil (for frying)
- Marinara sauce
- Provolone cheese
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Place wax paper on a cutting board. Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Place the floured chicken breasts on the cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and gently tenderize with a mallet.
- Bread the Chicken: Dip each tenderized chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring an even coat. Then dredge the chicken breasts in seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Bake: Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray. Top each breast with marinara sauce and a slice of provolone cheese.
- Cook: Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
