Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp dried Italian herbs

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 cups marinara sauce

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp olive oil

Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. In a separate dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, mix the panko, Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.

3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat in the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.

4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet, top each breast with marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
