Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
2
In a shallow dish, mix together the whole wheat breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate dish, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken breast in the eggs, coating completely, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
4
Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
