Method
- Remove the chicken breasts from the refrigerator up to an hour before cooking. You want them at room temperature for even cooking. Pat them dry with a paper towel and use a meat mallet to pound them to a uniform thickness. This helps you get that perfect golden brown crust.
- In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, oregano, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese. After seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper, dip chicken cutlets into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a full coating on each.
- Place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Spray the rack with cooking spray for a healthy chicken option using less oil.
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Arrange the breaded chicken in a single layer on the wire rack to ensure even crisping. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon 1-2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on top of each cutlet. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes of baking, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
