Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt and pepper to season
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 1-2 cups olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

Topping

  • 1 jar spaghetti or marinara sauce I use the Leggo's Napoletana jar
  • 6 slices ham
  • 1 cup grated cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the chicken breast by slicing them in half (butterflying) and slice in half again, creating 2 pieces. Bang the chicken out slightly using a rolling pin and glad wrap covering the chicken to make them thinner and an even thickness.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°c and line a large baking tray with baking paper. In a large fry pan, add the oil (at least 2 cm deep) and heat to a medium high heat.
  • Whisk together eggs, minced garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper in a shallow dish. In a separate dish, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and onion powder together.
  • Add the chicken into the egg mix, evenly coating each piece of chicken. Dip chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to evenly coat.
  • Fry each piece of chicken in the oil until golden and crispy, (about 5 minutes each side).
  • Place the chicken on the baking tray and top each piece with about ¼ cup of sauce, sliced ham and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and melted, and the chicken is completely cooked through.
  • Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve with some hot chips and a side salad.
