Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and with a meat tenderizer or mallet, pound the chicken evenly, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
8
|
Take a piece of chicken and coat evenly first in the flour, then the egg and finally with the panko mixture. Press the panko on to the chicken for better adherence. Set a aside on a plate. Repeat with remaining pieces of chicken. At this point, chicken can be covered and refrigerated up to overnight or frozen up to 3 months until ready to use.

|
Preheat the oven to 425°F.

|
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook 3-4 minutes on each side until golden or internal temperature reaches 165°F.
11
|
Remove the chicken to a parchment lined baking sheet and evenly top each chicken breast using 1/2 of the tomato sauce. Divide 1/2 cup parmesan cheese evenly on top of the tomato sauce. Add the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to turn golden. If you want to further brown the cheese, place under the broiler for a couple minutes, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pound Chicken Evenly 🔨Use a meat mallet to pound chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness for uniform cooking and tender, juicy results that cook through without drying out.
- Triple-Dredge Breading Method 🍗Create a sealed crust by dredging in flour, then egg, then panko—ensure each layer adheres completely before moving to the next for maximum crispiness.
- Oil Temperature is Critical 🌡️Heat your vegetable oil to 350°F before adding chicken; use a thermometer to prevent soggy breading from oil that's too cool or burnt coating from oil that's too hot.
- Build Your Tomato Sauce Properly 🍅Sauté minced garlic and diced onion in olive oil until fragrant before adding crushed tomatoes, then simmer for 15-20 minutes to develop deep, complex flavors that elevate the dish.
- Strategic Cheese Layering ⛓️Use a combination of mozzarella on top with grated Parmesan underneath for better adhesion; this prevents the cheese from sliding off and creates a golden, crispy top layer.
