Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half butterfly style, and pounded 1/2 inch thick if necessary, see photos in post (453.6 grams)
salt and pepper
1 cup all purpose flour (120 grams)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup breadcrumbs (112 grams)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25 grams)
1/2 tablespoon dried basil see note
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
cooking spray
1/3 cup spaghetti sauce store bought or homemade (90 grams)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Slice the chicken breasts in half, butterfly style (see photos in the post for more details). If any part of the chicken is still more than half an inch thick, pound them thin by placing the chicken between plastic wrap and using a rolling pin or meat mallet. Pound to 1/2 inch thickness.

Remove the chicken from the oven, add a small amount of spaghetti sauce (about a tablespoon and a half) to the top of each piece of chicken, top with shredded mozzarella, and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes or until the cheese begins to very lightly brown.
