Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Slice breast horizontally and place resulting cutlets between two pieces of parchment paper. Using a kitchen mallet, pound meat to even ¼-inch-thick slices.

Step 2

Place flour, eggs and panko into three wide, shallow bowls. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Dip a piece in flour, then eggs, then coat with panko. Repeat until all the meat is coated.

Step 3

Fill a large skillet with ½-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry cutlets in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 2 mns on each side.Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 8-by-12-inch baking pan . Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Place 3 cutlets over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.

Step 5

Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving. Cut in 6 or 8 pieces depending on appetites and serve with a side of spaghetti allia oglia.
