- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

- 2 eggs , beaten
- 1 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs*
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano , finely minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh basil , finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian parsley , finely minced
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese , grated
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter , divided
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil , divided
- 1 cup marinara sauce , heated
- 1 cup smoked buffalo mozzarella** , shredded
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 300°F and have a rimmed baking sheet waiting.
- Place one chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper on a cutting board. Using a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken breast until it is a uniform thickness, about 1/4 inch or a tiny bit thicker. Continue with the remaining breasts. Cut each flattened breast in half, smaller pieces are easier to handle when frying.
- Grab three pie plates or mixing bowls. Work in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. In bowl #1 mix the flour, nutmeg and season with the salt and pepper. In bowl #2 beat two eggs. In bowl #3 mix the breadcrumbs, freshly minced herbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Heat 1 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Working briskly, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture and finally the breadcrumb mixture. Pressing the breadcrumbs into the breast.
- Place each chicken piece into the hot frying pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until medium brown. Place on the baking sheet and into the warm oven.
- Continue with remaining breasts, being careful to not crowd the pan. If the frying pan gets dry, melt an additional 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- When ready to serve, top each chicken piece with spoonful of marinara and marinara shredded, smoked buffalo mozzarella. The heat from the sauce should melt the cheese.
