Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Step 2
Pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness between plastic wrap using a meat mallet or heavy pan.
Step 3
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten egg in the second, panko mixed with salt and pepper in the third.
Step 4
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then press into panko until fully coated.
Step 5
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 6
Sear chicken 3 minutes per side without moving until golden brown. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Spoon 2 tbsp marinara over each chicken breast. Top with 3 tbsp mozzarella per piece.
Step 8
Bake 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts and edges bubble slightly.
Step 9
Serve immediately with remaining warm marinara on the side.
