Servings: 4 bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast cut into cubes
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups bread crumbs
  • 3 tsp salt divided
  • 1 tsp pepper divided
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 4 cups marinara
  • 8 oz mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup parmesan
  • 2 cups olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • In a zip top bag, add the flour, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix and then add the cubed chicken. Toss to coat.
  • Set up a breading station with two shallow dishes.
  • In the first dish mix the eggs and heavy cream with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper.
  • In the second dish add the breadcrumbs, remaining salt, remaining pepper, garlic powder, oregano and basil.
  • In batches, add the flour coated chicken to the egg mixture. Shake off excess flour before adding to the egg.
  • When the chicken is fully coated in the egg mixture, add it to the breadcrumbs, allowing excess egg to drip off.
  • Roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs until each piece is fully coated.
  • Add the breaded chicken in batches to the olive oil. Allow it to brown on all sides. Internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  • Remove the chicken to a drying rack or a plate covered in paper towels. Keep adding chicken in batches until all is cooked.
  • In small oven safe bowls/serving dishes, spray each bowl with cooking spray.
  • Ladle in 1/2 cup of marinara. Add a generous helping of chicken. Cover with another 1/4 to 1/2 cup of marinara.
  • Top with a generous helping of mozzarella. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted and starting to brown.
  • Remove from the oven and top with a tablespoon of parmesan cheese. Serve.

Notes

Equipment: Large skillet, zip-top bag, 2 shallow dishes, drying rack, oven-safe bowls, cooking spray. This meal is great for families. The chicken is pre-cut and each person gets their own personal serving. Use Chosen Avocado Spray for best results.
