Ingredients

  • 1 and ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon lemon rind
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup all purpose flour plain flour
  • 2 large skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 2 cups homemade or store bought red tomato sauce marinara sauce
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup grated mozzarella
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley to garnish
  • Salad or pasta to serve

Instructions

  • Place breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Add oregano, lemon rind and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Crack egg into another bowl. Whisk. Set aside.
  • Place flour in another bowl. Set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut chicken horizontally into two equal halves. If the chicken pieces are too thick, use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them.
  • Working with one slice of chicken breast at a time, dredge in flour, shaking off excess, dip in egg, and coat in panko breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs gently onto the chicken. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts in a single layer. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Cook chicken in batches if needed. Drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
  • Prepare tomato sauce or marinara sauce following the recipe instructions. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 200 C / 400 F.
  • Add half of marinara sauce to the base of a 9x13” baking pan. Arrange chicken in a single layer. Top with remaining sauce, parmesan and mozzarella. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped parsley.
  • Serve with salad or pasta.

Notes

    • You can bake crumbed chicken if you like - Preheat oven to 180 C / 350 F. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer, spray with cooking oil and bake for 40 minutes or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
    • Marinara sauce in this recipe is tomato pasta sauce. Don’t get it confused with seafood marinara.
    • If the horizontally sliced chicken breasts are too thick, pound it with meat mallet or rolling pin
    • Regular breadcrumbs will work in place of panko breadcrumbs.
    • Chicken parmigiana tastes amazing in burgers and sandwiches
    • To keep the crispy chicken from getting soggy, assemble and bake chicken just before serving
    • You can refrigerate this for 2-3 days, just reheat in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
