Walk Me Through It
1
Shred cheeses and trim chicken. To pound chicken flat: Lay 2 pieces of chicken onto some parchment paper and cover with plastic wrap.
2
Pound chicken until evenly flat.
3
Chicken should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick
4
Cut each piece of chicken in half if you would like smaller portions.
5
Prepare coating as follows: To one bowl, add gluten free bread crumbs, parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. To another bowl add flour blend, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
6
Stir well.
7
Whisk together.
8
Set out the chicken and an empty plate.
9
In a third bowl, combine the eggs and milk.
10
Dredge chicken through the flour mixture.
11
Dunk into egg mixture.
12
Dredge chicken through crumb mixture, pressing crumbs into chicken. Repeat steps for all chicken pieces.
13
Transfer chicken over to stove area. We're ready to cook!
14
Warm a few Tbsp. of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
15
When oil is hot, carefully add in a few pieces of chicken.
16
Cook chicken pieces until both sides are light golden brown (about 4 minutes per side).
17
When chicken is done frying, it's time to prepare the baking dish.
18
Spread a light coating of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of your 9 x 13 (or larger) baking dish. Only spread enough just to cover the dish…too much can cause chicken to become too soft.
19
Transfer all chicken pieces into the baking dish.
20
Put a little sauce on each piece of chicken.
21
Lay a slice of provolone cheese over each piece of chicken.
22
Now top each piece with a little bit of mozzarella.
23
Bake at 400 degrees, uncovered.
24
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked, and cheese is melted and bubbly. (Baking time will depend on how thick your chicken is, so please keep an eye on it!.)
25
Serve with your favorite gluten free pasta.
Yay! Time to eat!
