Chicken Breast Thickness
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) to ensure they cook evenly and are tender. This will also help the breading adhere better.
Breading Technique
Use a three-stage breading process: first dip the chicken in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken to ensure a good coating. Season your breadcrumbs to add extra flavor.
Tomato Sauce Quality
Use a high-quality tomato sauce or make your own from scratch. A flavorful sauce is key to the overall taste of the dish.
Cheese Melt
Preheat the broiler before adding the cheese. This will help the cheese melt quickly and evenly without overcooking the chicken.
Fry temp
Use medium to high heat for frying the chicken, ensure the chicken is cooked inside while the outside is golden.
