Instructions
-
Preheat oven 430 degrees F. Lightly grease an oven tray with non stick cooking oil spray; set aside.
-
Whisk together eggs, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
-
Add chicken into the egg, rotating to evenly coat each fillet in the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
-
When chicken is ready for cooking, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder together in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to evenly coat.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Fry chicken until golden and crispy for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
-
Place chicken on prepared baking tray and top each breast with about ⅓ cup of sauce.
-
Top each chicken breast with 2 to 3 slices of mozzarella cheese and about 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with basil or parsley.
-
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and melted, and the chicken is completely cooked through.
Marinara Sauce:
-
Heat oil in a medium-sized pot. Fry onion until transparent, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
-
Add the tomato puree, salt, and pepper to taste, Italian herbs and sugar.
-
Cover with lid to simmer for about 8 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly. Taste test and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
