4 servings
For the chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp olive oil
For the topping
- 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, torn (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/2-inch thickness.

Set up three shallow dishes: in the first, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour the milk into the second dish. In the third, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
