Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts cut in half for chicken cutlets
  • 4 tsp olive oil divided
  • 1/3 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup freshly grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup marinara
  • Chopped fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, spread 2 tsp olive oil to grease your pan. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl mix together, gluten free breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, cornstarch, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix together the breading with a fork.
  • Drizzle remaining 2 tsp olive over chicken breast cutlets and toss to evenly coat chicken with oil. Place a chicken cutlet, one at a time, in the breading mixture. Press down slightly and use the fork to flip over and coat other side. Transfer breaded chicken to the greased baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, flip chicken, and then continue cooking for 5-10 minutes more, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from oven, move oven rack to upper position, and preheat broiler.
  • Move baked chicken together so it is all in the middle of the pan. Sprinkle grated cheese over top.
  • Broil for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starts to brown. Top with marinara sauce and garnish with fresh basil. Serve with your favorite gluten free pasta, vegetables, or salad!
