Ingredients

• 3 chicken breasts
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 5 eggs, divided
• 2 cups italian bread crumbs
• vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 24 oz marinara sauce
• 8 lasagna noodles
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
• fresh basil, to garnish

Directions

1. Cut chicken breasts in half (pound thin if necessary) and season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the flour, 4 eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow dishes. Beat the eggs. Coat the chicken in the flour, then the eggs, and finally in the bread crumbs.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Let drain on paper towels.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and the remaining egg.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
6. Spread about ⅓ of the marinara sauce over the bottom of a casserole dish. Top with 4 lasagna noodles, ½ of the ricotta mixture, and 3 chicken cutlets. Sprinkle with ½ cup of mozzarella and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Repeat to make another layer, then finish with the remaining sauce and mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 45-60 minutes, uncovering the lasagna for the last 10 minutes of baking.
