Chef Tips / Notes / Common Focus

• Ensure chicken is thoroughly coated in flour, then fully dipped in beaten eggs, and finally well coated with breadcrumbs before frying.
• Frying goal: golden and crispy (~2 minutes per side).
• Baking goal: cheese melted and bubbly.
• Assembly layering emphasized: tomato sauce → chicken → tomato sauce → ham → tomato sauce → mozzarella.

Serving / Plating Suggestion

Serve directly from the baking dish with the layered chicken, ham, tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella; finish with parsley.
