Preheat the oven to 400

Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season each side with salt and pepper to taste.

Set up two deep dishes or medium bowls to dredge the chicken in: set breadcrumbs in one bowl with the grated cheese and egg and milk in the other bowl. Mix breadcrumbs and cheese together. Whisk the egg and milk together.

One by one, dip the chicken into the egg wash and then into the breadcrumbs, turning to fully coat. Use a fork to spoon it all over the chicken if its missing in areas.

Set chicken onto a rack set in a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly over the top with olive oil.

Bake the chicken for 15 minutes (for thin fillets, longer if your pieces are thicker)

After the chicken is done, spoon sauce on top of each piece and top with mozzarella. Change oven to broil on high.

Broil chicken parm now for 5 minutes, until sauce is starting to bubble.

Top each piece with fresh basil. Serve alongside pasta, garlic bread, salad, etc!
