Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumb
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • fresh basil, thinly sliced, to serve
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half widthwise to make 4 thin breasts.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and onion powder.
  • Coat the chicken in flour, then egg, and then bread crumbs.
  • Pour oil in a cast-iron skillet to come ¼ inch (½ cm) up the side. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry on both sides until brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Place the fried chicken breasts in a baking dish. If they don’t fit side by side, gently overlap them. Pour the marinara over the chicken.
  • Top with mozzarella slices and Parmesan.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbling.
  • Serve with freshly chopped basil.
  • Enjoy!
