Michelle wants me to come up with my quick and easy recipe for Chicken Parmesan. The last time I made it, I borrowed from several recipes I found on the web, improvising as needed. The measurements are my best guesses, as I didn’t measure last time. Here is, to the best of my recollection, how I did it:

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 cup flour
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1-1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 large jar spaghetti sauce
Spaghetti or other pasta of choice

1. In a plastic ziplock bag, pound the chicken to even thickness.
2. Combine bread crumbs, flour, and parmesan cheese in a small bowl, mixing well.
3. Pour half of the spaghetti sauce into a baking dish.
4. Dip the chicken in egg, then in the bread crumb mixture. Coat chicken thoroughly. Place the chicken in the dish on top of the spaghetti sauce.
5. Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce on top of the chicken.
6. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked thoroughly. (I got this from a recipe online… I seem to remember cooking it longer than that last time, but it may have been at 350 degrees)
7. Top with mozarella cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until mozzarella cheese is melted. (I think I skipped this last time, but only because I didn’t have any mozarella).
8. Serve over hot pasta. (Last time I just had mac & cheese on the side)

Hope you enjoy!
