• Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in a second shallow dish. In a third shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, garlic powder, and dried basil.
• Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

• Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place fried chicken breasts on top. Spoon more sauce over each chicken breast. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. For a golden top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with pasta, garlic bread, or a fresh salad.
