I am still perfecting this recipe with seasonings, spices, etc, but thought I would share what I have so far and have made previously!

What you will need;

• Chicken breast
• Bread Crumbs
• Pasta Sauce
• Eggs
• Olive oil or avocado oil
• Shredded parmesan cheese and/or Italian shredded cheese ( I used both on this one)
• Seasonings (salt, pepper, basil, onion, garlic, Italian, whatever else you like to use to spice it up!

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

First take your chicken breast out you will tenderize it to create a thinner piece.

Add olive oil or avocado oil whichever you prefer to a pan and heat it up, you will pan fry the chicken for a couple minutes on each side a few steps down.

Next you will tenderize your chicken and add all the spices and seasoning you like. I used onion, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, Italian seasonings and tenderize that into the chicken until it is thin.

Next, you will coat the chicken in egg and then coat it in Italian bread crumbs.

Once your chicken is full coated you will place it in your pan with your oil and brown each side (roughly 2 minutes on each side) I have noticed you may need to add some additional oil when you flip over the chicken.

**This is a key part! I never knew this would make or break this recipe in the past!**

While your chicken is browning in your pan you, grab a baking sheet and place some oil on it so the chicken doesn’t stick, I also add pasta sauce on the bottom as well for some extra flavoring.

Once your chicken is browned on each side you will place it on your baking sheet.

I am a total cheese lover so I add cheese on top of the chicken prior to placing the additional pasta sauce (this is not necessary though)

Add pasta sauce on to of the chicken and then your shredded parmesan and/or Italian cheese mix on top.

Place in our pre-heated oven at 425 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes. I check on the temperature throughout as it is hard to gauge depending on the thickness of the chicken.

Bon Appetite!
