Slice both chicken breasts down the side lengthwise cutting all the way through until until you have 4 thin chicken cutlets.
Cover the chicken with a piece of waxed paper and using the back of a mallet, pound them to about ¼ inch thin.
In one shallow dish, mix together the seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the two eggs.
Dip each chicken cutlet in the beaten eggs and then in the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the chicken cutlets on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush each chicken cutlet with the vegetable oil.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Remove the tray from the oven and flip the chicken.
Spread a few tablespoons of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken followed by the mozzarella cheese. Turn on the broiler and place the baking tray back in the oven. Allow the chicken to broil for 2-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve with lightly buttered spaghetti on the side.
Notes
If you find the breadcrumb mixture is not adhering to the chicken cutlets, you can gently press the mixture into the chicken to help everything stick.
