Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 400°F. Pound chicken to 1/2 inch thick. Season.

Tip: Even thickness ensures even cooking.
2 ✓

Setup breading: 1. Flour, 2. Beaten Eggs, 3. Breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.

Tip: Parmesan adds crunch and flavor to the crust.
3 ✓

Dredge chicken: Flour -> Egg -> Crumb/Cheese mix. Press to adhere.

Tip: Don't clump the flour.
4 ✓

Fry in oil over medium heat, 3-4 mins per side until golden. Transfer to baking dish.

Tip: Crisp it here; oven just melts cheese.
5 ✓

Top each piece with sauce (leave edges clear) and mozzarella.

Tip: Leaving edges clear keeps them crispy.
6 ✓

Bake 15-20 mins until cheese bubbles.

Tip: High heat melts cheese quickly without drying meat.

Garnish with torn basil.

Tip: Basil goes on last to stay fresh.
