Ingredients  

  • 4 chicken breasts - boneless, skinless
  • ½ cup gluten-free flour blend
  • 2 large eggs - beaten well
  • 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup +/- olive oil - for coating the pan
  • 1 cup jarred marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon fresh basil - optional garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine gluten-free bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. In 2 more shallow dishes, place beaten eggs and gluten-free flour.
  • Dust each piece of chicken with flour, then dip into the beaten egg. Then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a baking tray while heating a large high-sided skillet with about a half-inch to an inch of olive oil. 
  • Fry each piece of breaded chicken until golden brown on each side. You may need to cook in batches if your pan is too small to fit 4 at once.
  • When all pieces have been fried nicely, place them in a single layer on a greased or lined baking tray. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of marinara on top of each, then generously top with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and browned as you like it.
