Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb. Organic Boneless Chicken Breast
- 1 tsp. Paprika

- 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

Instructions
For the Tomato Sauce:
- In a medium pot, add all tomato sauce ingredients. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Set to the side.
For the Chicken:
- Heat skillet to medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil.
- Cut the chicken breast into halves. Cover with plastic wrap and tenderize chicken breast using a meat tenderizer (paid link). Season each chicken breast with paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, ground thyme, and Himalayan salt. Set to the side.
- In a large bowl, add eggs and scramble.
- In a bowl or ziplock bag, add breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Mix.
- Lightly coat chicken with all-purpose flour. Coat chicken with egg. Coat with breadcrumb mixture.
- Cook each chicken breast for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place on baking pan when done.
- Add tomato sauce over the chicken breast. Top off with sliced provolone cheese. Top with freshly chopped basil. Broil until the cheese melts (around 30 seconds).
Notes
You can combine the chicken seasonings (paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, ground thyme, and Himalayan salt) before seasoning your chicken breast. This makes the process a lot easier.
Thirty seconds or less in the broiler is all you need to melt the cheese.
Place additional sauce on spaghetti or your favorite pasta and serve alongside the chicken parmesan.
