Chicken Cutlets:

7. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
8. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Place the cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Assembly:

2. Place the fried chicken cutlets on top of the sauce.
3. Spoon additional marinara sauce over each chicken cutlet.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the chicken.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
