Ingredients

• Thinly sliced chicken breasts
• Beaten eggs
• Breadcrumbs
• Parmesan cheese
• Homemade tomato sauce (or store-bought)
• Italian cheese mix (Provolone, Parmesan, Asiago, Fontina, Romano)
• Olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Slice chicken breasts thinly. Beat eggs in a bowl. Mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl.
2. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.
3. Heat olive oil in a pan. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 1.5 minutes per side). Place the fried chicken on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in a baking dish. Place the fried chicken on top of the sauce. Cover the chicken with more tomato sauce and sprinkle generously with the Italian cheese mix.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
