Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 thin boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup Italian style bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
  • Place out 3 shallow dishes. Fill the first with flour, salt, pepper and stir together. In the second dish whisk eggs. In the third dish stir together both bread crumbs, garlic powder, and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.
  • Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture to coat, then roll in the bread crumb mixture until well coated. Set aside.
  • Pour the olive oil into a heavy skillet and add in butter over medium high heat. Once butter has melted, add in chicken and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until chicken is browned on both sides. Transfer chicken to the lightly greased baking dish.
  • Spread marinara on top of each chicken breast. Top each breast with two slices of mozzarella and sprinkle on remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated 450 degree oven until cheese is bubbly and browned and chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve hot.
