STEP 17
When chicken is done frying, it's time to prepare the baking dish. 
STEP 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.
STEP 19
 Transfer all chicken pieces into the baking dish.
STEP 20
Put a little sauce on each piece of chicken. 
STEP 21
Lay a slice of provolone cheese over each piece of chicken.
STEP 22
​Now top each piece with a little bit of mozzarella.
STEP 23
Bake at 400 degrees, uncovered.
STEP 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!.)

THE RECIPE:

Ingredients

 Flour Mixture:
1/2 cup gluten free flour blend
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 tsp. garlic powder
 
Bread Crumb Mixture:
1 cup gluten free bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 tsp. garlic powder 
 
Egg Mixture:
2 eggs
A few Tbsp. milk
 
Other:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
A little oil to cook with
1 ¼ cups gluten free spaghetti sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
8 slices provolone cheese

Directions

  GETTING READY
  1. Slice the provolone if it’s not already sliced.
  2. Shred the mozzarella if it’s not already shredded.
  3. Trim chicken, and pound each chicken breast to about ¼ to ½ inch thick. Cut each piece in half. Place in refrigerator.
  4. Prepare bread crumb mix in soup bowl or platter as follows: Mix together bread crumbs, parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  5. Prepare flour mixture in soup bowl or platter as follows: Mix together flour blend, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  6. In large bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and milk. Set aside.
  7. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
 
LET’S GET STARTED
  1. Coat each chicken piece as follows: Dredge a chicken breast through flour mixture, coating thoroughly on both sides.
  2. Dunk chicken into egg mixture.
  3. Dredge through bread crumb mixture, thoroughly coating on both sides, patting crumbs in firmly.
  4. Repeat process with each chicken piece until all chicken is breaded.
  5. Warm a few Tbsp. of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  6. When oil is hot, cook chicken pieces until both sides are light golden brown (about 4 minutes per side).
  7. While chicken is cooking, 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.
  8. When chicken is done frying, transfer all pieces to the baking dish.
  9. Put a little sauce on each piece of chicken.
  10. Lay a slice of provolone cheese over each piece of chicken.
  11. Top each piece with some mozzarella.
  12. 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!.)
  13. Remove from oven and serve!
Tip: If you don’t have a pre-made flour mix, you can instead use ¼ cup tapioca starch, and ¼ cup white rice flour, mixed together (that’s what I use!).
To Reheat: Spray bottom of baking dish with non-stick spray, cover with tinfoil, and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until heated through.
