Method

DIRECTIONS

  1. 1

    Prep and season the chicken

    Pat the chicken cutlets dry. Season the flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Set up breading stations

    In a shallow dish, whisk eggs with the milk. In another dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Dredge the chicken

    Dredge each cutlet in the seasoned flour, tapping off excess. Dip into the egg wash, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat oil and fry

    Heat a mixture of olive oil and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cutlets in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble for baking

    Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the fried cutlets in the dish. Spoon additional marinara over each cutlet to coat.

  6. 6

    Top with cheese

    Top each cutlet with shredded mozzarella and a light dusting of extra grated Parmesan. If desired, drizzle with a little olive oil.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

  8. 8

    Garnish and serve

    Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes. Tear fresh basil over the top and serve with pasta or a green salad.
