Egg
1
fresh mozzarella
8 slices
marinara sauce
24 oz
parmesan rind
100 g
panko bread crumbs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. In a second bowl, beat the egg until smooth.

Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in the seasoned panko, pressing gently so the crumbs stick well.

Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet to 350 F. Shallow-fry the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and crisp. Transfer to an oven-safe pan or leave in an oven-safe skillet.
