Customize It Instructions

If using antibiotic free chicken, follow same instructions.
-
If using filets mignon or sirloin steaks, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.
-
If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

1 Prepare the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine marinara and half the red pepper flakes (to taste; remaining are yours to use as you please!). Set aside.Combine half the panko (reserve remaining for chicken) and Parmesan in another mixing bowl. Set aside. -
2 Prepare the Chicken
Pat chicken dry.
Cover chicken with plastic wrap. You may also use a gallon bag for easier clean-up. Pound with a heavy object to an even 1/4" thickness.Remove plastic wrap. Coat one side of chicken evenly with remaining panko, pressing gently to adhere. If panko doesn't stick, spray chicken with cooking spray. -
3 Start the Zucchini
Place zucchini on prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Toss with garlic salt and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer and top evenly with Parmesan-panko mixture.

While oil heats, line a plate with a paper towel.After 5 minutes, test oil temperature by adding a pinch of panko to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Add chicken to hot pan, panko-side down first, and cook until golden-brown and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.Remove from burner. Transfer to towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Rest, 2 minutes. -
