Ingredients
For the chicken:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • salt and pepper to season
  • 3 large chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 6 fillets
  • 1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 fresh parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup olive oil for frying
For the topping:
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced or shredded
  • 1/3 cup fresh parmesan cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley chopped
  • 2 cups marinara sauce use your favorite
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven 400°F

  2. Lightly grease a sheet pan (or baking dish) with non stick cooking oil spray or line with foil or parchment paper; set aside.

  3. Whisk together the eggs, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.

  4. Mix together the Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a separate shallow bowl.

  5. Add the chicken into the egg mixture, rotate to both sides to evenly coat each chicken fillet in the egg mixture.

  6. Dip the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to evenly coat, pressing onto the chicken.

  7. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Fry chicken until golden and crispy, (about 4-5 minutes for each side).

  8. Place chicken on prepared sheet pan and top each breast with about 1/3 cup of marinara sauce (use your favorite jarred sauce). Top each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of mozzarella cheese and about 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with basil or parsley.

  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and melted, and the chicken is completely cooked through.

  10. Serve warm with a side of spaghetti and more of the warmed marinara sauce.
