Crispy baguette with chicken parmesan

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken fillets, halved and pounded thinly (4 chicken cutlets)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 can (450 g) marinara sauce
• 2 tbsp. grated mozzarella
• 1 tbsp melted butter
• 0.5 tbsp. panko breadcrumbs
• 1 French baguette, halved lengthwise, then quartered, toasted
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Preparation:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and black pepper and place in the skillet. Sprinkle with half the thyme and oregano. Cook for 4 minutes.
2. Turn over, sprinkle with the remaining thyme and oregano and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned.
3. Add the marinara sauce, partially cover and simmer over medium heat for 7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over each chicken piece. Place the pan in the oven and broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
5. Also in a separate small bowl, combine butter, breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
6. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese and return the pan to the broiler for about 2 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
7. Carefully place each cutlet on toasted French bread. Add more marinara sauce if desired. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
