HOW TO BAKE CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH BREADING RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place a large oven-proof plate on the bottom rack.
• Dissolve salt and sugar in water in a 1-quart casserole dish. Place chicken in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Pat chicken dry and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let air-dry for 10 minutes.
• Place bread in a blender or food processor; blend until crumbly, about 30 seconds. Mix bread crumbs with parsley in a shallow dish.
• Place flour in a shallow dish.
• Beat eggs with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate shallow dish.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess; dip in the egg mixture and coat evenly in bread crumbs.
• Heat the remaining oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cutlets; cook until golden brown on the outside, no longer pink in the center, and juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove warmed plate from the oven; placed cooked cutlets on the plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.
• Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Beat the egg in another bowl.
• Dip the chicken into the eggs, then into the breadcrumb mixture. Discard the remaining crumbs.
• Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet, lightly spray the top with oil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes, do not turn. When done, remove from the oven and reduce oven temp to 400F.
• Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, parmesan cheese, and basil in a medium bowl.
• In a 9 x 13 x 3-inch Pyrex Deep baking dish, ladle 3/4 cup of marinara on the bottom of the dish.
• Arrange 3 lasagna noodles across the dish (they will expand as they cook), top with 3/4 cup sauce, 4 pieces of chicken, 1/4 of the ricotta cheese mixture, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 3/4 cup spinach.
• Repeat the 2nd layer, skipping the chicken.
• Repeat the 3rd layer with the chicken, and the 4th layer without the chicken.
• For the 5th layer, spread the last 3 sheets of pasta noodles with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce on top.
• Cover with foil and bake in a 400F preheated oven in the center rack 50 minutes.
• Uncover, add the remaining cup of mozzarella and bake until melted, 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let it rest 15 minutes before serving.
