Chicken Parmesan

Recipe

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Lay the chicken tenderloins in between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound a few times on each section of all pieces so it begins to flatten and tenderize. 
• Put the flour in one dish, the eggs in one dish and the bread crumbs, panko crumbs and seasonings in a dish. 
• Begin dredging the chicken pieces in flour then egg then bread crumbs mixture and set aside on a plate. Repeat for all remaining pieces of chicken. 
• Heat oil in a large skillet to medium heat and begin assembling pieces of chicken into the pan cooking for a few minutes on each side until lightly browned.
• Set the chicken tenders on a cookie sheet lined with a rack. 
• Using the sliced mozzarella cheese, set slices on top of each piece of chicken so each piece is topped with cheese. 
• Bake for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted. 
• While that’s baking, heat the marinara up in a saucepan on the stovetop. 
• Remove chicken from the oven, spoon warm marinara over top and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
