For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce. Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness ensures they cook evenly. If you don't have fresh mozzarella, you can use low-moisture mozzarella, but fresh mozzarella will give you the best flavor and texture. For a richer flavor, use a combination of mozzarella and provolone cheese. To prevent the breading from becoming soggy, make sure the chicken is not too wet when you dip it in the breadcrumbs. You can prepare the chicken ahead of time and bake it just before serving. Serve with a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
