Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 waffles (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
- Coat the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the waffles until golden. Place one piece of chicken on top of a waffle, spoon marinara sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Top with another waffle.
- Serve: Slice the sandwich in half and garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Enjoy warm!
