Ingredients

  • 9 chicken tenderloins
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 large slices day old air dried gluten-free bread we like Canyon Bakehouse heritage style
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 24 ounces gluten-free marinara
  • 5 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

GF Flour Mixture

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Pound each tenderloin flat between two sheets of wax paper
  • In a bowl combine flour, basil, thyme, oregano, cilantro, salt, red pepper & black pepper and in another bowl, beat eggs
  • Pulse 4 slices of stale gluten-free bread in blender or food processor until crumbs form then place in another bowl *If you didn't have time to leave your bread on the counter overnight, bake it at 300 degrees for 10 minutes
  • In a large frying pan and place each tenderloin in flour mixture then eggs and end with bread crumbs
    Pro tip: To not make much of a mess, do not use a shallow bowl for the breadcrumbs, eggs, and flour.
  • Heat coconut oil in medium frying pan and then place tenderloins in hot coconut oil and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side
  • Once cooked, remove and place on a paper towel to wait until all tenderloins have been cooked
  • Meanwhile, pour bottle of marinara sauce in a 9x13 baking dish and place cooked, breaded tenderloins over the marinara sauce and top each with half a mozzarella string cheese stick cut lengthwise
  • Sprinkle parmesan cheese over everything and bake for 15-20 minutes
  • Meanwhile, cook gluten-free pasta then serve the chicken parmigiana over hot pasta and top with fresh basil
