Equipment

  • 9x13 baking pan
  • Large skillet
  • Shallow bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally to make 6 breast halves
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese divided
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup Italian style bread crumbs or panko
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • fresh basil leaves for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Butterfly chicken breasts: Place one hand on top of the breast and carefully run a knife through the center of the meat to create two, even, thin breast halves. Pat chicken dry and season well on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Add eggs to a shallow bowl and beat well. Add breadcrumbs, parmesan and garlic powder to another shallow bowl and stir to combine.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, and then press into breadcrumbs, coating on both sides.
  • Add oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add breaded chicken and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden, but not cooked through.
  • Spoon a thin layer of marinara sauce into a 9×13'' baking pan, to cover the bottom of the pan. Place breaded chicken on top.
  • Add a spoonful of marinara sauce over the chicken, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly and chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F).
  • Garnish with fresh chopped basil. Serve over hot cooked spaghetti noodles, with extra sauce, if desired.
