Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan (Printable Version)

Crispy gluten free chicken, melty cheese and marinara for a comforting, flavorful meal ready in about 35 minutes.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 pieces chicken breast cutlets (approximately 570 grams total), pounded to 6 mm thickness

→ Breading

02 - 120 ml gluten free all-purpose flour
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 120 ml gluten free breadcrumbs
05 - 50 grams grated parmesan cheese
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
08 - 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
09 - 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Cooking and Assembly

10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 150 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
12 - 240 ml marinara sauce

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C for even baking.
02 - If chicken is not pre-sliced, pound the cutlets until approximately 6 mm thick for uniform cooking.
03 - In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly blended.
04 - In a shallow dish, mix the gluten free flour with half the seasoning blend. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In a third bowl, combine gluten free breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, and the remaining seasoning blend.
05 - Dredge each chicken cutlet in the seasoned flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture. Gently press to adhere the coating evenly. Repeat with all cutlets.
06 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each breaded cutlet for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the pan; chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
07 - Pour marinara sauce evenly into a baking dish, place browned chicken cutlets on top, then sprinkle each with shredded mozzarella.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is slightly bubbly.
09 - Garnish with fresh basil or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot as is, in a sandwich, or over gluten free pasta.

# Notes:

01 - Feel free to customize with additional herbs or spices, such as fresh basil, oregano, or onion powder.
