Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts (halves, skinless)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
  • 2 cups tomato sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°. Lightly coat a sheet pan with olive oil or cover with parchment paper
  • Flatten the chicken with a meat tenderizing mallet, to be approximately 1” thick. If you don’t do this, that’s okay too.
  • Beat the egg and olive oil together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, and a sprinkle each of salt and pepper
  • Dip chicken into egg mixture. Then, coat it lightly with the bread crumb mixture. Place it in the sheet pan, and bake it for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown, crisp and almost cooked through. If the chicken is thick, bake it longer. Do not turn the chicken
  • Remove chicken and ladle tomato sauce over it, and layer with mozzarella cheese and parmesan. Return it to the oven for another 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted

Notes

NOTE: You can combine the bread crumbs with panko or cornmeal
