Salt to taste
3.
For breading, crack eggs along with a sprinkle of all-purpose flour in one bowl (beat together), all-purpose flour with freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkle of garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil whisked together in another bowl (½ tsp each per cup of flour), and spread panko bread crumbs on a rimmed baking sheet with a sprinkle of pre-grated parmesan cheese.
4 eggs
All purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper
Garlic powder
Dried oregano
Dried basil
Panko breadcrumbs
Parmesan cheese, pre grated
4.
Using the “dry hand, wet hand” method, dip the chicken breasts into the flour then egg before covering every inch with panko breadcrumbs. For extra crispy, dip the chicken back into the egg and then back into the breadcrumbs.
5.
Set the breadcrumbs coated chicken aside until ready to fry.
6.
Heat a quart of peanut oil to 350°F, drop in the chicken and fry for roughly 5 minutes or deeply golden brown. Drain on paper towels once finished.
7.
Place the chicken onto a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet and top with fresh basil, slices of fresh mozzarella, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Place in the broiler for just a few minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown.
