Bob’s Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients
  

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs, or more as needed
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour, or more if needed
  • 1 cup olive oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 cup provolone cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 450°F.
  • Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic, 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.
  • In a shallow bowl, beat eggs; set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese; set aside.
    Place flour in a sifter or strainer; sprinkle evenly over both sides of chicken breasts.
  • Dip flour coated chicken breast in beaten eggs; transfer breast to breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs into both sides; repeat for each breast; set aside breaded chicken breasts for about 15 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, heat 1 cup olive oil heat until it begins to shimmer.
  • Place chicken in skillet and cook until golden; about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Place chicken in a baking dish and top each breast with about 1/3 cup of tomato sauce.
  • Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese.
  • Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center; around 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven when an instant-read thermometer, inserted into the center, should read at least 165°F.
