Tick them off as you go. Quantities are for 4 servings.

Method

  1. Prep the chickenHeat the oven to 425°F. Pound the cutlets to an even ½-inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.

  2. BreadMix the panko, Parmesan, oregano and oil. Dredge each cutlet in flour, then egg, then the crumb mixture, pressing to coat.

  3. BakePlace on a rack set over a sheet pan and bake 15 minutes, until golden.

  4. TopSpoon marinara over each cutlet, add the mozzarella, and bake 8 to 10 minutes until bubbly and the chicken reaches 165°F.

Editor’s tip. The rack matters: it keeps air moving under the cutlets so the bottom stays crisp.
