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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Spread marinara sauce evenly over each chicken breast.
Step 8
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
