Part 5/6:
Once all the cutlets are fried, it's time to elevate the dish further with marinara sauce and cheese. While you can always make your own marinara sauce, using a store-bought version, such as Rao's, is perfectly acceptable for convenience.
Spread about a third to half a cup of marinara over each cutlet, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella. You can opt for fresh mozzarella if you prefer, along with a tablespoon of freshly grated Parmesan on top of the cheese.
Baking for Perfection
Now, pop the assembled Chicken Parmesan into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly—not burnt. The aroma filling your kitchen will be simply irresistible.
