How to Make Chicken Parm the Gluten Free Version
Grab a baking sheet and grease it with a little bit of olive oil and preheat the oven to 425.
Mix together the gluten free breadcrumbs, grated parm, seasonings, and cornstarch in a medium mixing bowl.
Using the remaining olive oil, drizzle it over the chicken breasts and toss to coat.
Add each piece of chicken to the breading mixture and cover evenly on both sides.
Place the breaded chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Depending on the size of your chicken you may need to cook it a little longer. Just be sure the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
Then move the chicken to the upper rack and change the oven setting to broiler.
Move the cutlets to the middle of the pan if needed so that it is touching. Cover in marinara and sprinkle with mozzarella.
Broil just until the cheese begins to turn brown and is melted.
Garnish with basil leaves if desired and serve!
