Step 1
Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thick using a meat mallet or heavy pan.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls with flour, beaten egg, and panko mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then press into panko until fully coated.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, slide in the breaded chicken.
Step 5
Fry 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Return chicken to the skillet, pour marinara over each piece, scatter mozzarella on top, cover, and cook until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
