4. Set Up the Flour Dredging:
Place the all-purpose flour in a third shallow dish, ready for dredging the chicken.

5. Dredge the Chicken:
Take each chicken breast and dredge it in the flour, ensuring to shake off any excess.

6. Dip in Egg Mixture:
Next, dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

7. Coat with Bread Crumbs:
Finally, coat the chicken breasts in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

8. Sear the Chicken:
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

9. Transfer to Baking Dish:
Once seared, transfer the chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish.

10. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
In a bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese with the shredded mozzarella cheese and minced garlic.

11. Add Cheese Topping:
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the chicken breasts.

12. Bake to Perfection:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

13. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the delicious cheesy goodness!
