Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic grated or finely minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh Italian flat leaf, finely minced
- 1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese divided, plus more for serving, finely grated
- kosher salt
- black pepper freshly ground
- 3 egg large
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise to make 6 pieces
- olive oil for frying
- 12-16 oz fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
- 3 cups marinara sauce plus more for serving
- basil fresh, for serving
Notes
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- To season the chicken faster, liberally season one side, then stack another piece on top of it to allow some of the seasoning to transfer onto the other piece, then repeat.
- When breading, try to designate one hand for touching only dry things, like flour and breadcrumbs, and one hand for touching only wet, like the raw chicken and eggs. This prevents you from breading your fingers in the process.
- Set up the breading station so that the chicken is on the far left, then next to it the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, and then a landing plate or pan to hold the breaded chicken.
- Make sure the chicken isn’t overcrowded in both the frying pan and on the baking sheet or it wont cook evenly.
- Place the slices of fresh mozzarella on paper towels and blot off the excess moisture so it doesn’t make the chicken soggy.
- Don’t use too much cheese or it will overpower and smother the crispy chicken. Leave some edges exposed for extra crispiness.
- Use homemade marinara sauce or a good quality store bought for best results
- Do not use the broiler if using parchment paper or it will catch on fire!
