Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 each boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Breading
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 each large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Sauce & Cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • fresh basil (for garnish) optional
Cooking Oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Equipment

  • oven
  • meat mallet
  • 3 shallow dishes
  • large oven-safe skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
Breading the Chicken
  1. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then egg, then the Panko mixture, pressing to coat well.
Frying the Chicken
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Baking and Finishing
  1. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked through. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, before serving.

Notes

Serve with your favorite pasta or a side salad for a complete meal. For extra crispiness, you can lightly toast the Panko breadcrumbs before breading the chicken.
