Ingredients

1 1/2 lb chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
3 tbsp extra light olive oil (optional)
2 cups marinara sauce

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast without slicing through, then fill each pocket with mozzarella.
Set out the flour seasoned with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.
Coat each stuffed breast in flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixture, then place them in the baking dish.
Bake for 18 minutes, spoon marinara over the chicken, and cover with the remaining mozzarella.
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes more until the chicken reaches 165 F and the cheese melts, then add basil.
