Skillet Chicken Parmesan (Flat Chicken)

1/3 c breadcrumbs 1/3 c grated parmesan cheese 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1/4 tsp garlic salt 1 large egg 4 boneless, skinless chicken breats (about 1 lb) 1 Tbsp olive oil 3/4 c jarred marinara sauce 3/4 c shredded mozzarella cheese (3 oz) 1 - In a shallow bowl mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic salt. In another shallow bowl beat the egg until frothy 2 - Wrap the chicken breasts in plastic wrap and place on a cutting board. Gently pound each breast with a mallet to an even thickness (about 1/2 in). Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg to coat and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture. 3 - Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium - high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 - 5 min on each side or until the chicken is well browned and just cooked through. 4 - Spoon the marinara sauce evenly on top of the chicken and sprinkle the mozzarella on top. Cover the pan, reduce heat to low and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the cheese melts. *I usually use 3 big chicken breasts and cut them each into 3 pieces so I have 9 total pieces. I just make sure the parmesan cheese and breadcrumb mixture is 1/2 and 1/2 so I don't really measure it's total volume and use 2 - 3 eggs for dipping. 1 jar of marinara sauce is perfect. I usually serve it over noodles and the kids scarf it down.
