Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 8 pieces fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Set up your coating stations: Place gluten-free flour on one plate, whisked eggs in a shallow bowl, and a mixture of gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs on another plate.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs to adhere.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from heat.
Spread marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
