Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce, gluten-free
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, coating both sides, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere. Repeat with all pieces of chicken.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 7
Once the chicken is browned on both sides, remove the skillet from heat. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over each piece of chicken.
Step 8
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast until well covered.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Step 11
Serve hot with gluten-free pasta or a side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
