Instructions
- 1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- 2. Brush the chicken lightly with New York Pizza Infused Olive Oil Blend and let it rest while you set up the breading station.
- 3. Place the flour in one shallow dish, whisk the eggs with milk in a second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs with Parmesan in a third dish.
- 4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the egg mixture, then coat it well in the breadcrumb mixture.
- 5. Preheat a grill to medium heat and oil the grates. Grill the breaded chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until lightly charred and mostly cooked through.
- 6. Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan with the butter and a teaspoon of the blend, stirring until glossy.
- 7. Move the grilled chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet, spoon sauce over each piece, and top with mozzarella.
- 8. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- 9. Finish with torn basil and chopped parsley, then serve hot.
- 10. For best texture, let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing or plating.
Notes
The breadcrumb crust will be a little softer than oven-breaded chicken, which is exactly what makes this version feel hearty and saucy. If the chicken breasts are very large, split them into thinner cutlets for easier grilling and more even cooking. Avoid overloading the sauce so the cheese can melt cleanly on top.
