Serves

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 filets

3 eggs

¼ cup all purpose flour

¾ cup panko breadcrumbs

1 ½ tsp garlic powder

1 ¼ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

2 tsp italian seasoning

⅓ cup shredded parmesan cheese

olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

¾ cup Massimo’s Tomato Sauce

8 slices provolone cheese

Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Set aside a baking sheet.
  2. You’ll need three shallow bowls:
    a. In one bowl mix together the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper and italian seasoning.
    b. In another bowl whisk together the eggs.
    c. In a third bowl, add the flour.
  3. Place chicken breast filets between two layers of plastic wrap and place on a cutting board. Use a kitchen mallet to firmly pound the chicken to a ½ inch thickness.
  4. Season the chicken filets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  5. Dredge each chicken filet in this order: dip in the flour and shake off any excess; then dip in the egg and let any excess drip off; finally, dredge both sides of the chicken in the breadcrumbs, pressing crumbs into both sides.
  6. Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, turn to medium and shallow fry the chicken filets 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through to 165F when read on an instant read thermometer.
  7. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet. Top each chicken filet with 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce followed by 2 slices of provolone cheese per filet.
  8. Broil on low for 4-6 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  9. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil. Enjoy with a favourite pasta of choice or a side salad for a full meal.
