Ingredients

For the breadcrumbs:

  • 4 slices Aunt Millie's Live Carb Smart Bread
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the marinara sauce:

  • 15 oz. crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

For the chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 (1 oz. slices) fresh mozzarella
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Tear the bread slices into 1" pieces and add them to a baking sheet.
  • Bake the bread for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep an eye on the bread during the last 2 minutes so it doesn't burn.
  • Once the bread has cooled, add it to a food processor. Pulse until it is a breadcrumb consistency. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt to the breadcrumbs.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, dried onions, oregano, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and pepper to a small saucepan.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover, and turn the heat to low, stirring occasionally.
  • Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat and add the oil. Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish.
  • Dip the chicken into the eggs, then coat with the homemade breadcrumbs.
  • Place the chicken in the pan and cook 4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Preheat the oven to broil and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the cooked chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Top each one with a spoonful of sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the sauce, then top with the fresh mozzarella.
  • Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
