Ingredients
  

For the chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the sauce

  • 2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
  • In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.
  • In a third shallow bowl, add the Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs.
  • Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces of chicken.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, making sure to coat it evenly.
  • Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumbs, pressing them on firmly so they stick.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by heating the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes to the saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Once the chicken is done baking, serve it hot with the marinara sauce on top.
