Course: Dinner

Cuisine: Italian

Equipment

Baking Sheet

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 oz each, sliced in half lengthwise to make 8)
3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (such as 4C, you can also use GF crumbs)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or Romano cheese)
2 tbsp butter (melted, or olive oil)
3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (I like Polly-o)
1 cup marinara sauce ( or Filetto di Pomodoro)
cooking spray
basil (or parsley, optional for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.
Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Melt the butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.
Lightly spray a little more oil on top and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove from oven, spoon 1 tablespoon marinara sauce over each piece of chicken and top each with 1 1/2 tbsp of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
