Prep the Chicken:

Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.

Dredge each cutlet in the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan cheese mixture.

Cook the Chicken:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Fry the breaded chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Make the Vodka Sauce:

In a saucepan, sauté the minced garlic in a bit of olive oil until fragrant.

Add the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer.

Stir in the vodka and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce is well combined and thickened.

Assemble the Dish:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the fried chicken cutlets in a baking dish.

Pour the vodka sauce over the chicken, ensuring each cutlet is well coated.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve:

Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves.

Serve hot with your favorite side dish or pasta.
