Directions

  1. 1

    Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. Using a sharp knife, cut one chicken breast in half through thickest side parallel to cutting board to create 2 thin cutlets; season both sides with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining chicken for a total of 8 cutlets.

    Into a shallow bowl, add flour. In another shallow bowl, beat eggs to blend. In a third shallow bowl, mix Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder; season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Working one at a time, dip chicken into flour, then eggs, then Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.

  4. 4

    In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat ⅓ c. oil. Working in batches and adding more oil if needed, cook chicken, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Arrange half of chicken cutlets in a 13” x 9” baking dish. Spread half of tomato sauce over and top with remaining chicken cutlets. Spread remaining tomato sauce over and top with mozzarella.

  6. 6

    Bake until cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

  7. 7

    Turn on broiler, if desired. Broil, watching closely, until cheese is golden brown in spots, about 3 minutes.

  8. 8

    Top with basil and more Parmesan.
