INSTRUCTIONS

• 1. Prepare the panko gremolata: Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes. Add the panko and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and toasted. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley and lemon zest. Set aside.
• 2. Prepare the mashed potatoes according to package directions and hold hot.
• 3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange the chicken patties on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until heated through and crisp. Top each patty with 2 slices of fresh mozzarella and return to the oven for 3–4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
• 4. Heat the marinara sauce and hold hot.
• 5. To assemble: Portion 4 oz mashed potatoes into each bowl and top with 3 oz warm marinara. Add one mozzarella-topped crispy chicken patty and finish with 2 tablespoons panko gremolata. Serve immediately.
