In a separate pie plate or shallow dish, add the egg, water, salt, and pepper and whisk. Add the chicken breasts and turn over with thongs to cover all sides of the chicken.

- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the breaded chicken and cook until golden brown, or about 3-5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook on the other side until golden brown.
- Place the browned chicken into the prepared baking dish and cover with the marinara sauce. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 degrees F. and the cheese is melted. (Note: If the chicken is done before the cheese is melted, place in the broiler for 1-2 minutes)
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with minced parsley if desired. Enjoy!
