Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/4 pounds chicken cutlets or boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half horizontally
  • 3/4 cup panko
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to broil.
  • In a shallow dish combine the panko, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. In another shallow dish combine the egg with a tablespoon of water and whisk them together. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat a 12 inch skillet with the olive oil over medium heat. Dip the chicken cutlets into the egg mixture then dredge them in the panko breadcrumb mixture.
  • Add the prepared chicken cutlets to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the coating is golden brown. Flip the chicken over and cook another 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate.
  • Turn the heat down to medium low and add in the marinara sauce cooking until it's heated through, 1-2 minutes. Nestle the chicken into the marinara sauce and top with the mozzarella cheese.
  • Place skillet in the oven and broil for several minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Serve immediately.
