• 份量: 4 servings
• 活動時間: 15 minutes
• 總時間: 45 minutes

食材

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup panko bread crumbs, or more as needed

• ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more if needed

• ½ cup olive oil for frying, or as needed

• ½ cup prepared tomato sauce

• ¼ cup fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes

• ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

• ½ cup grated provolone cheese

• 2 teaspoons olive oil

步驟

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.

• Season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper. Using a sifter or strainer; sprinkle flour over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides

• Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside.

• Mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, set aside.

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

• Heat 1/2 inch olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook chicken in the hot oil until golden, about 2 minutes per side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.

• Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Top each breast with 2 tablespoons tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top and drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.

• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
