Ingredients:

½ C. Panko bread Crumbs - (more if needed)
¼ C. Grated Parmesan

1½ t. Olive Oil
Directions:
Directions:
Using a meat tenderizer, pierce the breast many times on both sides. Butterfly chicken breasts without cutting through all the way. On a cutting board, pound the breasts until very thing without breaking them. At this point, you can cover and place the fridge until ready to make dinner. Season with Salt & pepper.

Preheat the oven to 450 º. Spray a baking dish large enough to hold the breasts. Mix panko and Parmesan together on a large enough plate for the breast and set aside. Beat the egg in a wide bowl. Completely dust the chicken with the flour and pat off the extra. dip into the egg and then place on the plate with the panko mixture. Make sure you pat the breadcrumbs onto both sides, covering completely. Set aside for 15 minutes

Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet until it starts to shimmer. Cook the chicken until golden brown - about 2 minutes on each side. Place the chicken in the baking dish. Top each breast with some sauce, sprinkle with the basil and then the shredded cheese. Drizzle with the olive oil.

Bake in the oven until the cheese is browned and bubbly about 15 - 20 minutes. The chicken will be completely cooked at this point. All done!
