  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves four

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare your station by setting up three plates: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 4-5 minutes per side) and ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Layer marinara sauce over each cutlet in the skillet and top generously with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  5. Transfer to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
