Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Mix breadcrumbs, ¼ cup Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a second bowl. Dip each cutlet in egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat completely.
  2. Spread 1 cup marinara in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place breaded cutlets in a single layer over the sauce. Top with the remaining 1 cup marinara, mozzarella slices, and the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the top. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, then slice into portions and serve with extra sauce from the dish.

Notes

If your cutlets are thicker than ½ inch, pound them to an even thickness before breading so they cook all the way through during the bake.
