Instructions:
Preparing the Chicken Parmesan: 1. Preheat Your Oven:

3. Breading Station: • Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.• Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated, and then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, covering all sides evenly.
4. Frying the Chicken: • Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.• Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.• Transfer the fried chicken breasts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5. Assembling the Chicken Parmesan: • Place the fried chicken breasts in a baking dish.• Spoon the Jai's Drop 23 Spag a Bol sauce evenly over each piece.• Drizzle Jai's Drop 23 Chilli Bourbon Sauce over the Spag a Bol sauce for that unique spicy-sweet kick.• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
6. Baking: • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through.• Optional: Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to get a golden-brown top.
7. Garnishing: • Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor and a pop of color.
