Ingredients
  

Chicken and Coating
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For dredging
  • 2 large eggs, beaten For coating
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese For breading
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 cup marinara sauce Store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Flatten the chicken breasts slightly for even cooking by placing them in a zip-top bag and gently pounding them with a meat mallet.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
  5. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and the grated Parmesan cheese.
Cooking
  1. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shake off the excess, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat it with the panko-Parmesan mix.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the breaded chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Pour marinara sauce over the seared chicken and then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve.
  2. Pair it with a side salad or some roasted veggies.

Notes

For a low-carb option, swap panko for almond flour or crushed pork rinds. Leftover chicken can be used in sandwiches or salads.
