Steps

1Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a quarter-sized baking sheet with a wire baking rack, then lay a layer of paper towels on top of the baking rack. Set aside.
2Cut the large chicken breast in half, keeping your knife parallel to the cutting board to create a thin top half and thin bottom half of chicken. (Or use two small chicken breasts, about 5 oz. each).
3Place one of the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound the chicken with a meat mallet until it is 1/4″ thick. Repeat with remaining chicken breast half. Season both chicken breast halves generously with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
4Gather three shallow dishes. In one dish, combine 1/3 cup all-purpose Flour, 1 tsp. Italian Seasoning, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir to combine. In the second shallow dish, beat 1 large Egg. In the third shallow dish, combine 1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan Cheese.
5Dip one of the chicken breast halves into the flour mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Shake off any excess, then dip it into the egg, again coating both sides and letting any excess drip off. Press the chicken into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Set aside and repeat with second chicken breast half.
6Heat ¼” of oil in a pan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Again working one a time, cook the chicken in the oil for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the crispy chicken to the prepared baking sheet (on top of the paper towel-lined wire rack), and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
7Repeat with second chicken breast half, letting both rest on the paper towels to absorb any excess oil for a minute or two.
8Remove the paper towels from underneath the chicken. Divide 2/3 cup Marinara Sauce over the tops of the chicken, followed by 4 oz. fresh Mozzarella. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 400 F until cheese is browned and bubbly.
9Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve hot!
