1. 1

   {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).'}

2. 2

   {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': 'Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.'}

3. 3

   {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper. Using a sifter or strainer, sprinkle flour over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides.'}

4. 4

   {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside. Mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, set aside. Dip a flour-coated chicken breast in beaten eggs. Transfer breast to the bread crumb mixture, pressing crumbs into both sides. Repeat for each breast. Let chicken rest for 10 to 15 minutes.'}

5. 5

   {'id': 'step_4', 'step': 5, 'text': 'Heat 1/2 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook chicken in batches, so you do not overcrowd the pan, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.'}

6. 6

   {'id': 'step_5', 'step': 6, 'text': 'Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Top each breast with 2 tablespoons tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top and drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.'}

7. 7

   {'id': 'step_6', 'step': 7, 'text': 'Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let chicken rest briefly before serving.'}
