Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil, brush it with olive oil, position an oven rack second from the top, and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two pieces and pound the four pieces to an even thickness. Pat dry and season with some of the salt and pepper.
- Combine the panko, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, remaining salt, and pepper in one shallow dish. Whisk the egg in another dish.
- Dip each chicken piece in egg, coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Flip the chicken, spoon 1/4 cup marinara over each piece, and top with mozzarella. Broil for 2 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges are browned. Garnish with parsley if desired.
