Coat the chicken with flour, then egg, then pack it with breadcrumbs.
Fill the pan with 1/2 inch deep of oil and heat it over medium-high heat until 350F.
Shallow fry the chicken cutlet for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown, then set aside on a wire rack.
Prepare the Marinara Sauce and Pasta
Chop the garlic and onion, and pick out basil leaves.
In a pan with a bit of olive oil over medium heat, saute the onion and garlic, and season it with salt, pepper, and basil.
Let it boil, then taste and adjust.

Assemble the Chicken Parmesan
In a baking pan, ladle a thin layer of marinara sauce, line up the chicken breast, then top with another layer of sauce, sliced mozzarella, grated parmesan, and basil leaves.
