4 chicken breast cutlets
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan
1 tsp italian seasoning
2 large eggs
2 cups jarred marinara sauce
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt

How to cook it

Heat the oven to 425F and set a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet, brushing the rack lightly with olive oil.
Season the chicken cutlets with salt. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl and mix the panko with the parmesan and italian seasoning in another.
Dip each cutlet in egg, then press into the panko mixture to coat both sides.
Lay the cutlets on the rack, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and bake 15 minutes until golden and cooked through, with no stovetop frying needed.
Spoon the marinara over each cutlet, scatter with mozzarella, and bake 5 minutes more until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
