Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley , for serving (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large shallow bowl or on a large plate, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
  2. Use a thin, sharp knife to slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create two thin fillets. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap on a cutting board, and gently pound to about ⅜-inch with a meat tenderizer.
  3. Brush both sides of the chicken fillets with mayonnaise to evenly coat. Dredge each of the chicken cutlets in the breadcrumb mixture and place on a sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until cooked through and the outsides are golden and crispy.
  4. Top each cutlet with a dollop of marinara and shredded cheese and return to the oven. Cook until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Serve with spaghetti, angel hair, or fettuccine noodles.

Notes

  • Notes:• Instead of garlic powder, use 1 clove of fresh garlic that's been pressed or very finely minced instead.• Instead of Italian seasoned bread crumbs, use regular bread crumbs with 1 ½ teaspoons of Italian seasoning added to them.• Instead of mayonnaise, use 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
