In a third bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and remaining 1/4 cup flour. Season the chicken with some salt and pepper. Dip each piece in the flour to coat, then dip it in the egg and coat. Dip it in the breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere, then place it in the skillet. Cook on both sides until deeply golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.Add ¾ of the marinara to the baking dish. Stir in the garlic and basil. When the pasta is finished cooking, stir it into the marinara in the dish. Stir in half of the fontina cheese. Place the chicken on top of the pasta.
