Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic on a level surface.
Step 3
Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet (or the bottom of a frying pan) to 1/2-inch thickness.
Step 4
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl.
Step 6
Mix the bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese in a separate shallow bowl.
Step 7
Place the flour in a sifter or a strainer and sprinkle the flour over the chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides.
Step 8
Dip the flour-coated chicken in the beaten eggs, and then into the bread crumb mixture, pressing the crumbs in on both sides of the chicken.
Step 9
Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes.
Step 10
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 cup of olive oil or as much is needed to fill about 1/2 inch until it shimmers.
Step 11
Add the chicken into the hot oil until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Don't worry if the chicken is not cooked through yet, as it will finish cooking in the oven.
Step 12
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
Step 13
Top each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce.
Step 14
Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella, basil, and provolone cheese.
Step 15
Sprinkle each breast with the remaining parmesan cheese and the remaining olive oil.
Step 16
Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through at 165 degrees F, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 17
Serve hot.
