Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Use a meat mallet to pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the third with a mix of panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each breaded chicken piece for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Spoon marinara sauce over each breast and top with shredded mozzarella cheese before transferring to the oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and cheese is melted and bubbly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
