Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-3 large eggs beaten
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • sufficient Cooking spray or olive oil for misting
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Equipment

  • Meat mallet
  • Baking sheet
  • Three shallow dishes
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pound chicken breasts to about half an inch thick between plastic wrap or in a zip-top bag.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes (flour mixed with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and panko mixture with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder).
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
  5. Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Spray or lightly brush the tops of the breaded chicken with cooking oil.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches 155°F internally.
  8. Remove from the oven, spoon marinara sauce over each piece, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Return to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly, and chicken reaches 165°F.
  10. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
