Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 chicken breast halves (skinless boneless)
  • ½ cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅔ cup Panko bread crumbs
  • ⅔ cup Italian seasoning bread crumbs
  • ⅓ cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 4 tablespoons oil (or as needed)
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce (homemade or jarred)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • basil & parsley (fresh, chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat an oven to 425°F.
  • Place flour in shallow dish. Place the eggs in a second dish (and beat with a fork).
  • Combine Panko, Italian seasoning crumbs, grated parmesan, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, salt, and pepper to taste in a third shallow dish.
  • Pound chicken breasts to ½" thick (if they're very large you can cut them in half). 
  • Dip chicken into flour and shake to remove any excess. Dip chicken in beaten eggs & then into bread crumb mixture (press to adhere). 
  • Preheat oil in a large pan. Brown chicken on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden (it does not need to cook through as it will continue to cook in the oven).
  • Place 1 ½ cups of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 dish. Add browned chicken. Top each piece with a couple tablespoons of marinara sauce, mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden and bubbly and chicken reaches 165°F. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve over pasta.
