Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt/Pepper
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or as needed

Flour Mixture

  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Eggs

  • 2 eggs beaten until frothy
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Breading

  • 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Cheese & Topping

  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • Fresh Parsley to garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Combine the flour, egg, and breading mixtures in 3 separate shallow pans.
  2. Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2-3 thinner slices. Pound it to ½ inch thick.
  3. Pat dry, sprinkle each side lightly with salt/pepper.
  4. Dredge completely in the flour mixture, tap off excess.
  5. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture until just coated.
  6. Coat the chicken generously in the breadcrumbs.
  7. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on each side.
  8. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet, top with marinara and mozzarella.
  9. Bake uncovered for 12 minutes. Broil for 1-2 minutes if desired.
  10. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil is sufficiently heated before adding the chicken.
  • Bread 1-2 pieces at a time for extra crispiness.
  • Adjust heat as needed during frying.
  • Use low moisture, whole milk mozzarella for best results.
  • Check internal temperature of chicken before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • To reheat, thaw completely and bake covered at 350° for 20-25 minutes.
