Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 lbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup panko
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, more as needed
- 1 1/3 cups marinara sauce
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced*
- chopped fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Use sharp knife to cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 pieces. Alternatively, you can pound each breast with a meat mallet. Place the chicken between two pieces of parchment paper or wax paper and pound it until it's about 1/2 an inch. Place on a plate and set aside.
- Get out three shallow bowls. Put the flour in one bowl. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs. In the third bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, panko, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, then roll in the bread crumb mixture, pressing to adhere, until well coated. Set aside.
- In a large cast iron skillet or heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until chicken is browned on both sides. Transfer chicken pieces to the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a spoon to spread about 1/3 cup of marinara sauce on top of each piece of chicken. Top evenly with mozzarella cheese and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
- Place the pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 14 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through (165 ºF).
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Instead of thinly sliced fresh mozzarella you can use 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
