Ingredients

  • 5 boneless skinless, Chicken Breasts
  • 3 – 4 cups Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp oregano
  • 2 tbsp each salt and pepper
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 4 – 6 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 can of crushed tomatoes with garlic and oregano
  • 2 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp each garlic and onion powder
  • 5 slices Mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Start by slicing the chicken breasts horizontally.
  • Then, pound the chicken to an approximate thickness of 1/8″. Set aside.
  • Next, set up a dredging station with beaten eggs in one bowl, flour and oregano in another bowl and bread crumbs and cornmeal in a third bowl.
  • First, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture shaking off the excess.
  • Next, drop the chicken into the egg wash and let the excess drop off.
  • Finish by dropping the chicken into the bread crumbs. Pat the crumbs into the breasts. Again, shake off any excess.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet. Use enough oil to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Drop the chicken slowly into the hot skillet. Cook 2 – 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the skillet and place on a baking rack.
  • Place in a 275 degree oven and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add a piece of the cheese and cook until melted - 1 - 2 minutes
  • In a sauce pan, add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, garlic and onion powder and cook until warm. Cook enough to have the extra liquid burn off.
  • Top the chicken, melted cheese with the tomato sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy!
