Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a bowl, combine all Chicken ingredients (flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper).
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
In another bowl, combine Panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dip each chicken piece in the flour mixture, then the beaten eggs, and finally the Panko mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a saucepan, combine all Sauce ingredients and heat through.
Place fried chicken in a baking dish. Top with Sauce and Mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
