Ingredients
- 8 oz. BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup BelGioioso Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp. fresh oregano
- 1 Tbsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup fine almond flour
- 2 large chicken breasts, split in half lengthways
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. crushed black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups marinara
- 2 campari or other tomatoes, sliced
- Optional garnish: Fresh oregano, basil and cracked black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to broil.
Season BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella with oregano, basil and red pepper flakes and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside to marinate. Heat a large ovenproof skillet to medium-high and add remaining olive oil. In a shallow bowl, whisk almond flour and BelGioioso Grated Parmesan with a fork to combine. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, then dip in beaten egg mixture and dredge with almond flour cheese mixture.
Shallow fry for 2-3 minutes per side and remove chicken. Add marinara to skillet and place the chicken on top, followed by the marinated BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella slices.
Broil for 5 minutes in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling and chicken registers 165°F when using a thermometer. Remove skillet from oven and top with fresh tomato slices, followed by fresh oregano and cracked pepper. Serve immediately.
