Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Step 2

Beat egg with salt and pepper

Step 3

Mix Panko, Parmesan and Garlic Powder.

Step 4

Pound breast halves flat to about 1/2 inch.

Step 5

Flour breast halves well and shake off excess.

Step 6

Dip a flour-coated chicken breast in beaten eggs. Transfer breast to the panko mixture, pressing crumbs into both sides. Repeat for each breast. Let chicken rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 7

Heat 1/4 inch of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

Step 8

Cook chicken until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Do not crowd the skillet!

Step 9

Transfer chicken to a baking pan lined with parchment.

Step 10

Top each breast with 1/4 cup tomato sauce. Layer each breast with pizza cheese, 1/2 tablespoon basil and 1/2 tablespoon Parmesan. Drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly for 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let chicken rest while getting spaghetti, toasted garlic bread or whatever you wish on plate.
