Every year we go to Jamaica over the winter holidays and often run into our dear friends, Ricky and Ralph Lauren. In addition to being an artist and an extremely creative person, Ricky is an excellent home cook and a fellow cookbook author. This is one of her family's favorite dishes, one they would eat at the beach on weekends piled on a large platter with angel hair pasta on the side. "Even though I make an enormous amount, it never lasts through the weekend!" Ricky says. Funnily enough, Ricky doesn't call for Parmigiano Reggiano cheese in her version of this Italian classic, but when I make it I like to combine 1 cup grated Parmesan with the panko crumbs and I encourage you to try it this way too. You could also serve this dish with freshly grated Parmesan, if you like.

Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- Hungarian paprika, to taste
- Garlic salt, such as Lawry's, to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 2 whole chickens, cut into 10 pieces (about 7 pounds total)
- 1 pound mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 cups tomato sauce, homemade or store-bought
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Spray a roasting pan or baking dish large enough to hold the chicken with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the flour, salt and pepper, paprika, and garlic salt together in a shallow bowl. Put the eggs and panko in two additional shallow bowls. Dredge the chicken pieces, one at a time, first in the flour, then in the eggs, and last in the panko. Place the pieces in the roasting pan. Bake, turning the chicken when the bottom side is brown, until golden on both sides, 30 to 35 minutes.
-
Place the sliced mozzarella on top of the chicken and pour the tomato sauce on top. Continue to bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce is piping hot. Place the chicken on a large platter and serve.

i made it with chicken breast, didnt cut them in any way. Wanted a nicer looking plate. my plating ended up been stunning, the only thing i would have change is add more spice to flour since I had bigger chicken piece, The chicken only by itself ended up kinda bland. My gf absoluetly loved it
