Season the sauce with salt and black pepper and stir.

Let the sauce simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes.

In a bowl, mix a splash of milk with 2 eggs and beat them together.

Season the bread crumbs with granulated garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Prepare 4 pounded chicken breasts for breading.

Dredge each chicken breast in seasoned flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and coat with seasoned bread crumbs.

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the breaded chicken breasts in batches of two for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the cooked chicken and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Add chopped kalamata olives, fresh basil, and parsley to the sauce and stir.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Spread a little sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

Layer the chicken breasts in the baking dish and ladle sauce over them.

Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of provolone cheese and fresh mozzarella cheese.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly.

Serve with spaghetti and garnish with fresh basil.
