Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 4 slices sliced mozzarella cheese
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 gluten-free sandwich buns
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap until they are about 1/2-inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Dredge the egg-coated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts.
Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken breasts in the skillet.
Top each with two slices of mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the gluten-free sandwich buns.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a basil leaf on the bottom half of each bun, then top with the chicken, more sauce if desired, another basil leaf, and finally the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free chicken parmesan sandwich!
