4. Pan fry the chicken until both sides are golden brown.
5. Bake chicken for about 15 minutes, spoon about two tablespoon of marinara sauce on the chicken then place two slices of mozzarella cheese on top.

I usually serve this with rice, but today I served it with spaghetti.  The chicken breast are huge given the fact that the chickens are pumped with steroids to fatten them up.  Therefore I halve the breast by butterflying it making it a two portion serving and it is also faster to cook when it is thinner.
