Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare Breading: In a large bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. This will be your breading mix.

      Set Up Dredging Station: In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.

        Dredge Chicken: Take each chicken breast and first dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing down to ensure it adheres well.

          Fry Chicken: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts (in batches if necessary) and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

            Assemble in Baking Dish: In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken breasts on top and cover each with an additional layer of marinara sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over each chicken breast.

              Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
