INGREDIENTS:
1 cup marinara sauce
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
2 chicken breasts About 1 pound of chicken total
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese fresh grated
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 2 tablespoon minced parsley , for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First , line a baking sheet with foil , brush foil with olive oil. Adjust oven rack so that is in the second from the top space. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Then , cut the chicken breasts in half and pound to even thickness: Cut through the middle of the chicken breast as if you are going to butterfly it (cutting it open like a book) , but cut all the way through to make two equal sized pieces.
- Next , after cutting the chicken breasts in half , place them in a gallon sized zip top bag in an even layer , seal it , then pound them to an even thickness using a meat pounder or a rolling pin. You can also place the chicken breasts between two layers of cling wrap instead of a zip top bag if you prefer.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel , then season with salt and pepper.
- In one shallow dish , mix together panko bread crumbs , grated parmesan cheese , salt , pepper , garlic powder , oregano , and black pepper.
- In another shallow dish , whisk one egg.
- Dip one chicken breast into the egg , then into the bread crumb mixture. Ensure chicken breast is fully coated in the crumb mixture , and gently press with your hand do help the crumbs stick to the chicken. Place chicken breast on prepared baking sheet , repeat with remaining pieces of chicken.
- Place baking sheet in oven on the second from the top rack. Bake for 15 minutes , or until cooked through.
- Flip chicken , pour 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken , then top with cheese. Place back in the oven. Turn on the broiler. Broil for 2-4 minutes , until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges of chicken are browning.
