Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups vegan mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place flour in the first bowl, whisk together almond milk and eggs in the second bowl, and panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
Step 4
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the almond milk and egg mixture, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and spoon a generous amount of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken, then top with vegan mozzarella cheese.
Step 8
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serve hot, alongside pasta or a fresh salad.
