🔸Ingredients

🔸SAVE TO MY RECIPES

🔸MARINARA SAUCE

🔸3 tbs p. extra-virgin olive oil

🔸1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

🔸6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

🔸1 (28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes

🔸2 large sprigs basil

🔸Kosher salt

🔸Freshly ground black pepper

🔹CHICKEN

🔹1 c. panko bread crumbs

🔹1 tsp. garlic powder

🔹2 c. finely grated Parmesan, divided

🔹3/4 c. all-purpose flour

🔹2 large eggs

🔹6 (1/4"-thick) boneless, skinless 🔹chicken cutlets (about 1 1/2 lb. total)

🔹Kosher salt

🔹Freshly ground black pepper

🔹1 c. shredded mozzarella

🔹1 c. vegetable or canola oil

🔹Chopped fresh basil, for serving

🔸Step 1

🔸In a medium pot over medium heat, 🔸heat oil. Add onion and garlic, stir to 🔸combine, and reduce heat to low. Cover 🔸and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 🔸minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring 🔸occasionally, until onion is translucent, 🔸softened, and fragrant, about 5 minutes 🔸more.

🔹Step 2

🔹Stir in tomatoes and basil. Bring to a 🔹boil, then reduce heat to medium-low 🔹and simmer, stirring occasionally, until 🔹slightly thickened and flavors have 🔹melded, about 30 minutes; season with 🔹salt and pepper. Discard basil.

🔹CHICKEN

🔸Step 1

🔸In a shallow bowl, combine panko, 🔸garlic powder, and 1 cup Parmesan. 🔸Into another shallow bowl, pour flour. In 🔸a third shallow bowl, beat eggs with 1 🔸tablespoon water.

🔹Step 2

🔹Pat chicken dry; season with salt and 🔹pepper. Dip into flour, shaking off 🔹excess, then into egg, then into panko 🔹mixture, gently pressing to adhere.

🔸Step 3

🔸In a small bowl, mix mozzarella and 🔸remaining 1 cup Parmesan. 

🔹Step 4

🔹Heat broiler. In a large, heavy pot over 🔹medium heat, heat oil until a deep-fry or 🔹instant-read thermometer registers 🔹350°; if it smokes a bit, that’s okay. Set 🔹a wire rack in a baking sheet.

🔸Step 5

🔸Working one at a time, fry chicken until 🔸one side is golden brown, about 1 🔸minute. Flip and continue to fry until 🔸golden brown on the other side and the 🔸sound of the frying chicken gets slightly 🔸louder—this is the moisture evaporating 🔸from the chicken—about 1 minute more. 🔸Transfer to prepared rack. Repeat with 🔸remaining chicken. Spoon some 🔸marinara over chicken. Sprinkle with 🔸cheese mixture.

🔹Step 6

🔹Broil, watching carefully, until cheese is 🔹melted and brown spots form, about 2 🔹minutes.

🔸Step 7

🔸Divide chicken among plates. Top with 🔸basil. Serve with remaining marinara 🔸alongside.

🔴 How to Make Chicken Tikka Masala

Bake them in a preheated oven at 460 F or 240 C for 9 to 10 mins. Turn

them to the other side with a tong and grill then for another 9 to 10 mins.

To char the chicken, broil for 2 to 3 mins or until slightly charred.

chicken tikka one by one, spacing them apart. Cook on a medium high

heat for 3 mins, turn them to the other side with a tong and cook for
