Step 1

Preheat broiler to high.

Stir in chopped basil.

While the sauce cooks, split each chicken breast in half to form 2 cutlets (4 in all).

Great version of chicken parm. I easily cut recipe in half for two of us. I cooked chicken in a cast iron skillet and then just popped the skillet under the broiler.

This was so delicious, and it was quite easy to prepare. I loved the touch of garlic in the breading. Even though I used rather thick chicken breasts, it still cooked in the time specified in the recipe instructions. I'll make this again, and I won't change a thing because it's so delicious exactly as the recipe is written. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Lynette. We really enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed this -- used oregano instead of the basil but otherwise made as directed for a delicious meal! Thanks for sharing
