Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large chicken breasts, halved and pounded thin

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup flour

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1½ cups breadcrumbs (panko preferred)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 cup marinara sauce

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan

  • Fresh basil (optional)

  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prep the chicken – Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.

  • Bread the chicken – Dredge in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat in breadcrumbs.

  • Pan-fry – In a hot skillet, add olive oil and fry chicken until golden on both sides (about 3–4 mins per side). Set aside on paper towels.

  • Assemble – Place fried chicken on a baking tray. Spoon marinara sauce on top, then cover with mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan.

  • Bake – Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15–20 mins or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • Serve – Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot with pasta or a crisp salad!

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

  • Add a pinch of chili flakes to your marinara if you like a little heat.

  • You can also air fry the chicken for a lighter version.
