Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- 2
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a flat, stable surface. Pound the chicken firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness.
- 3
Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Using a sifter or strainer, dust flour over the chicken breasts, coating both sides evenly.
- 4
Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- 5
In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and set aside.
- 6
Dip a flour-coated chicken breast into the beaten eggs. Move the breast to the bread crumb mixture, pressing crumbs onto both sides. Repeat with each breast. Let the chicken rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- 7
Heat 1/2 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- 8
Cook the chicken in batches, without overcrowding the pan, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
- 9
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Spoon 2 tablespoons tomato sauce over each breast. Layer each breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on top and drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
- 10
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let the chicken rest briefly before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
