Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Then, coat the chicken thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, shaking off any extra crumbs.

For extra crispiness, dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture and breadcrumbs again for a double layer, then place in the prepared baking dish. Lightly spray the breaded chicken with cooking spray.

Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
Spoon spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Continue baking until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheeses are bubbly and golden, about 15 more minutes. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.
Serve the chicken hot over a bed of pasta.

Pro Tip
If the egg mixture starts to run low, simply add a bit more water to thin it out.
