Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). Place a standard-size rimmed baking sheet inside and allow it to get hot.
In a shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red chili flakes, and black pepper. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss until the breadcrumbs are moistened.
In a separate shallow dish, lightly beat the egg. Dredge the chicken, one breast at a time, in the egg, then transfer to the dish with the breadcrumbs. Press to make sure the crumbs stick to the chicken.
In a small bowl, toss the zucchini in the remaining olive oil. Remove the pan from the oven and place the chicken onto the pan. Add the zucchini around the chicken. Season the squash with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). Remove from the oven, spread the marinara sauce over the tops of the chicken, and sprinkle with the mozzarella. Return the pan to the oven and broil for 2–3 minutes on HIGH, or until the cheese melts and begins to bubble.
Garnish with freshly chopped herbs, if desired. Serve immediately.
