Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another shallow dish, whisk the egg and milk.
  5. Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
  6. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear chicken cutlets for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Remove skillet from heat. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken cutlet.
  9. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can toast the breadcrumb mixture lightly before coating the chicken.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a little heat.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta or a side salad.
