A delightful twist on the classic Italian favorite featuring golden, crispy chicken breasts topped with marinara and gooey mozzarella.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Set up your breading station: In one shallow dish, add the flour. In a second dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and press it into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Repeat this process for all chicken breasts.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the breaded chicken cutlets for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
  5. Arrange the browned cutlets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over each cutlet, then top them with slices of mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve immediately over pasta, accompanied by extra marinara, and a fresh garden salad.

Notes

Pound the chicken to a uniform thickness for even cooking. Serve with pasta and salad for a complete meal.
