Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour unbleached
- 2 egg extra large
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup panko
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 3 teaspoons dried marjoram
- tomato sauce
- fresh mozzarella
- olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 350°
- Pound the chicken breast or tights, between plastic wrap, until they are even and ¼ inch thick.
- On a shallow dish combine the flour, salt, and pepper. On a second dish, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third dish, combine the bread crumbs, panko, marjoram, and parmesan cheese.
- Coat the chicken on both sides with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread crumbs mixture.
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan, ½ inch up to the skillet side, and cook breaded thighs on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown on each side. Do not overcrowd the skillet. Remove and place in a cookie sheet.
- Smear tomato sauce over the chicken and top with a mozzarella slice.
- Place in the oven and cook until the mozzarella has melted.
