Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: How to make Thin Chicken Cutlets
- The first step in making this recipe is to make the chicken cutlets thin. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a cutting board that’s been lined with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken breast down the side lengthwise cutting all the way through until you have thin chicken cutlets.
- I started with two chicken breasts and now I have four thin chicken cutlets. If the chicken cutlets are not thin enough, you can make them thinner using a meat mallet.
📌Cooking Tip: Lay a piece of parchment paper down on the cutting board for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Bread the Chicken
- Add the garlic powder and freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Then dip the chicken in the beaten eggs and then in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Prep the Baking Tray
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then place the prepared seasoned breasts on top.
- Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 400° degree oven or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Step 4: Add the Marinara Sauce and Cheese
- Pull the baking tray out of the oven and flip the chicken.
- Spread the marinara sauce on top of each chicken cutlet followed by the mozzarella cheese.
Step 5: Melt the Cheese
- Turn on the broiler.
- Return the baking tray back to the oven and cook for an addition 2 - 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
