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
