Prep Time 20 Min | Cook Time 25 Min | Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 3 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1 cup marinara pasta sauce
  • 6 tbsp canola oil, for frying
  • 2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup flour

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Coat in flour, dip each chicken bite into the beaten eggs, and coat them evenly in the breadcrumb mixture. Fry the chicken until golden brown, flipping as necessary.
  • Place the cooked chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of sauce onto each one, then add a layer of cheese. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Once the bites are done, garnish with basil and serve them with toothpicks for easy dipping into marinara sauce.
  • Enjoy!
