1 cup grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 large egg
¼ cup milk
4 slices mozzarella cheese
½ cup marinara sauce or your favorite tomato sauce
4 fresh basil leaves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400º F.
Pound chicken breasts to ½ inch thickness.
Set up 3 shallow bowls for breading the chicken (pie plates work perfect for this)
Bowl 1: Combine the flour, salt and pepper
Bowl 2: Beat egg and milk together.
Bowl 3: Combine the Panko bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano.
Dredge chicken in the flour and shake off excess.
Next, dip into the egg mixture, then press into the seasoned breadcumbs, generously coating both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet (medium-high heat). Add the breaded chicken breasts and fry 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Do not over-crowd the pan, work in batches if necessary.
Tranfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Top with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce.
Preheat oven to 400º F. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature 165º F.
