This is a recipe to put together when you have extra time, but man it's so worth it. Cheesy, creamy, with a nice texture of crunch from the breaded mixture. Enjoy!

This is a recipe to put together when you have extra time, but man it's so worth it. Cheesy, creamy, with a nice texture of crunch from the breaded mixture. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Sauce Boxx Spicy Tomato Kertz
3 chicken breasts (cut in half, horizontal)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian Seasoned or Panko)
1 cup grated Parmesan xheese
- 1/2 cup Oil (for frying)
8 ounces Mozarella cheese (Slices)
2 tablespoons fresh Basil or Parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Preparing the Chicken
Preheat oven to 400* and lightly grease baking or casserole dish with grease.
Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.In 3 separate plates add:
- Beaten egg to one
- All- Purpose Flour to another
- Breadcrumbs to last plate.
Mix in 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese with bread crumbs.
Dip seasoned chicken in flour and coat evenly on both sides.
Then dip in beaten egg until fully coated.
Next, put chicken in breadcrumb mixture and fully coat on both side. Mixture should stick to chicken.
Frying Chicken
Heat a large pan or skillet & oil over med-high heat until oil is hot.
Slowly add chicken to pan - do not overcrowd the pan with chicken. Fry until golden brown, about 3 -4 mins on both sides.
Place chicken in baking dish and finish frying rest of chicken.
Top Chicken for Baking
Ready to make magic? I thought so.
Top each fried chicken piece with 1/3 cup Spicy Tomato Kertz, 2 slices of sliced mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle 2 tb grated parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15 - 20 mins, until cheese is bubbly and melted and the chicken is fully cooked. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 160 degrees.
Serving
Top with minced Basil or Parsley for garnish.
Serve hot, and enjoy! I love to serve with a fresh vegetable. Like diced Zucchini sautéed in Sauce Boxx Loaded Garlic & Herb Butter or baked Asparagus with melted Sauce Boxx Cowboy Butter.
