Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp dried oregano

1 tbsp dried basil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 cup marinara sauce

8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then coat them in flour, shaking off excess.

3. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish. In another dish, mix panko, Parmesan, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder.

7. Spoon marinara sauce over each breast, top with mozzarella slices, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

8. Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
