Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1.5 cups marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
Instructions
- Butterfly and pound the chicken breasts to about ¼ inch thick for even cooking.

- Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, another with whisked eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan and seasonings.
- Bread each chicken cutlet by coating it in flour, dipping it in egg, and then coating it with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the breaded cutlets on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Flip and bake for another 15 minutes until golden.
- Top each cutlet with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese; broil for an additional 2 minutes until cheese melts.
