Ingredients to Gather
- 3 Chicken Breasts, filleted and thinned
- 2 tbsp SPG (salt, pepper, garlic powder)
- 2.5 cups Italian Breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 Eggs, whipped
- ½ cup Flour
- 2 tbsp Calabrian Chili Oil
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce
- 4 oz Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Fresh Basil for garnish
Cooking It Up!
Derek’s technique for preparing the chicken is straightforward yet effective. By filleting and pounding the chicken breasts thin, it cooks quickly and evenly while soaking up all those delicious flavors. The secret here is in the dredging process: flour, eggs, and the fantastic breadcrumb and Parmesan mix which gives it that extra crunch!
You’ll want to make sure you’re cooking at a medium-high heat, about 350°F, in a cast iron skillet with a touch of olive oil. Watch the magic happen as the chicken gets that perfect golden crust, turning out juicy and tender inside!
Finishing Touches
For the finishing touch, Derek ladles on marinara sauce mixed with Calabrian chili oil, and don’t forget the mozzarella! Broiling it until bubbly and golden gives this dish that homey Italian touch. Serve it all with a sprinkle of fresh basil and a bit more Parmesan on top!
