📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk together all Marinade ingredients in a freezer size plastic bag. Add chicken and marinate ⏱️ 30 minutes up to overnight in the refrigerator (longer the better). When ready to cook, remove chicken from fridge and let sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 15-30 minutes.
2
Add all of the Blender Marinara ingredients to your blender and puree until smooth. Add to a medium saucepan and simmer gently for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan, stir in 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs and cook over medium heat until golden. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.

SKILLET/OVEN DIRECTIONS
5
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, remove chicken from marinade, pat dry and cook undisturbed for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium and cook approximately 5 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through.

GRILL DIRECTIONS
8
Grease and preheat grill to medium heat, 375-450°F. Grill chicken undisturbed for ⏱️ 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 160 degrees F.)
9
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons Marinara over each chicken breast followed by 1/4 cup mozzarella. Close grill to melt cheese then top with golden Panko Mixture. Serve with remaining Marinara and Panko over pasta.
