Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 large Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 units Large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups Marinara sauce
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves(optional)
  • 1 pinch Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thin cutlets, then pound to even thickness.

  3. 3

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, salt, and pepper; one with beaten eggs; and one with panko, Parmesan, and oregano mixed together.

  4. 4

    Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture.

  5. 5

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 2 minutes per side until golden (but not cooked through).

  6. 6

    Place seared chicken on the baking sheet and top each piece with a generous spoonful of marinara sauce.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and chicken is cooked to 165°F.

  8. 8

    Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately over pasta or with a side salad.
