The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 large chicken breasts (pounded to 1/2 inch thick, cut in half horizontally)
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 eggs

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Salt and pepper chicken breasts on both sides.
  • Combine breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated parmesan, garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
  • Put two eggs and 1 tbsp flour into a shallow bowl and whisk.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture letting excess drip off.
  • Dip into flour mixture, shaking extra off and put into hot pan.
  • Do not move, let it brown 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • Remove from heat, top with mozzarella, parmesan, tomatoes and pepperoni.
