Let's Get Started!
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425. In three separate shallow dishes, combine the flour, eggs, and breading mixtures.
Step 2: Slice the chicken in half to create 2 thinner slices. Place in a Ziplock bag and pound with the textured side of a mallet until chicken is ½ inch thick (thinner the better), then remove from bag. Pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Dredge in the flour mixture and tap of excess. Then dip the chicken in the egg mixture until coated. Next coat the chicken generously in the breadcrumbs.
Step 4: Heat oil over medium heat. Add two pieces of chicken to the skillet. Brown on both sides about 3-4 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed so that oil does not get too hot.
Step 5: Remove cooked chicken and set on a cooling rack. Repeat cooking process with remaining chicken.
Step 6: Transfer chicken to a large baking sheet and top with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Step 7: Bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes. Then broil at 425 for 1-2 minutes so that the top will brown.
Step 8: Garnish with parsley and serve with thin spaghetti and some garlic bread
