Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets about 1 1/2 pounds total, pounded to 1/2 inch thick
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

  1. Heat oven to 425°F; line a sheet pan with parchment. Put flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Mix panko, 1/4 cup Parmesan, oil, salt and garlic powder in a third bowl.
  2. Dredge cutlets in flour, egg, then crumbs, pressing gently. Space apart on pan.
  3. Bake 15–20 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part and coating is golden. Top each cutlet with 1/4 cup marinara, mozzarella and remaining Parmesan.
