1½ C Panko breadcrumbs
4 Tbs Parmesan cheese grated & divided

¼-½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
2 eggs
2 Tbs water
1 C all-purpose flour

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375°

Breading Station – Set out three bowls or trays

BOWL #1 – flour
BOWL #2 – eggs and water, whisked thoroughly
BOWL #3 – Panko breadcrumbs, 3 Tbs of Parmesan cheese, 3 tsp Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes if using, mix to combine evenly

Breading the chicken

One at a time, lightly season each piece of chicken with salt & pepper
One piece at a time, thoroughly coat each piece of chicken in flour, then the egg and then the panko – press the panko into the chicken so it stays on well
Place onto a lightly oiled wire rack on a baking sheet, cooking spray works the best
Gently lift each piece of chicken and spray with cooking spray on both sides
Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 each of the basil, mozzarella, the tomatoes
Sprinkle each with some of the remaining Italian seasoning & Parmesan cheese
Bake at 350°on center rack for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown and internal temp is 165° – time will vary depending on your oven and thickness of your chicken
