A delightful blend of crispy chicken cutlets, marinara sauce, and gooey mozzarella cheese, perfect for any night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into cutlets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets. Lightly pound each cutlet to achieve uniform thickness.
  2. Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one filled with seasoned flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the last with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
  3. Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally cover it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the fried chicken cutlets in a baking dish, ladle marinara sauce over them, and top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.

Notes

Use a meat mallet to pound chicken evenly. Ensure oil is hot before frying for a crispy coating. Customize with your favorite toppings.
