Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large egg

- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

- Pound out the chicken breasts to an even thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap.
- Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk with a fork until combined.
- Add the Panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder to a second bowl and stir to combine.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs into the chicken so that they adhere.
- Place chicken breasts evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken breasts reach 160 degrees.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara over each piece of chicken. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella.
- Bake for 5 more minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees.

Notes
- For extra crispy chicken, preheat the sheet pan in the oven. Add melted butter to the baking dish instead of non-stick spray. Spray non-stick spray over the tops of the chicken breasts before baking.
- We use and recommend Rao's marinara.
- To make in the air fryer, air fry at 380 degrees for 10 minutes and then flip the chicken and cook for 5 more minutes or until the chicken reaches 160 degrees. Spoon the marinara and mozzarella over the chicken and return to the air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
