Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast $6.75, boneless, skinless, about 1.5 lbs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs $0.60
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese $0.67, grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder $0.10
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning $0.10
- 1 tsp salt $0.05
- black pepper $0.02, freshly cracked
- 1 egg $0.17
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour $0.10
- 1/4 cup neutral cooking oil $0.15, generic cooking oil
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce $0.35
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese $1.25, shredded
- 1 Tbsp parsley $0.30, chopped, fresh, optional
Instructions
- Use a sharp knife to carefully filet the chicken breasts lengthwise into two cutlets, making 4 cutlets total. You can also use pre-cut chicken cutlets.
- Lightly season both sides of the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- In a wide shallow bowl or container, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper.
- In a separate wide shallow bowl or container, whisk the egg until smooth.
- In a third shallow bowl, add the flour.
- Dredge each piece of chicken into the flour, dusting off any excess. Then, dip in the egg mixture, making sure to fully coat the chicken and dripping off any excess. Finally, dip the chicken in the seasoned bread crumbs, again coating well on both sides.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet and oil are very hot, add the chicken and cook on the first side until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and turn the heat down to medium. Top each cutlet with 2 tbsp of marinara sauce and ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Place a lid on the skillet to allow the cheese to fully melt, the marinara sauce to warm up, and the chicken to cook all the way through, about 5-7 more minutes.
- Top the chicken with fresh chopped parsley (optional) and serve with spaghetti and additional marinara.
