Season your chicken with 1 tbsp Oregano , 1 tsp Garlic powder salt and pepper to taste and 1 tsp olive oil. Let sit in refrigerator for 4 hrs.
Form as assembly line starting with the seasoned chicken , then flour , eggs , bread crumbs and finally a plate to stage the breaded chicken. Dredge the chicken into the flour and then submerge in eggs , place the chicken into the breadcrumbs and ensure they are completely coated.


Repeat until all your chicken is breaded.

Fry the chicken in 1/2 inch frying oil until golden brown and place in paper towel lined dish.

Place the chicken on a baking tray and cover with Marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese and place in oven on broil until cheese turns brown. Keep a very close eye during this process!!!
