1-Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2-Season the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

3-Set up breading station: Beat eggs in a shallow dish; in another dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian herbs.

4-Bread the cutlets: Dip each chicken breast in beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

5-Fry the chicken: Heat a generous layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry each breaded breast 4-5 minutes per side until deeply golden. Work in batches to maintain oil temperature around 350°F.

6-Assemble the dish: Transfer fried cutlets to a baking dish; spoon marinara sauce over each, then top with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of extra Parmesan.

7-Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked through; let rest 5 minutes before serving.

8-Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot over spaghetti, pasta, or alongside a salad.
