QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN PARMESAN RECIPE

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs)
• 1 cup grated parmesan
• 2 eggs
• 1 24oz jar of your favorite pasta sauce
• 2-3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
• Canola (or Olive oil) for frying
• Salt & pepper

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Using a 9x13 casserole pan, spread a thin layer of pasta sauce.
3. If the breast are thick, slice horizontally, making two cutlets. Put the chicken between a layer of wax paper or put into a ziplock bag and pound each cutlet, using a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy water glass. (This will tenderize the chicken).
4. Salt and pepper the chicken on both sides.
5. Mix the egg in a shallow bowl, with a fork.
6. Mix the breadcrumbs and the parmesan cheese together.
7. Pour the oil into a skillet or frying pan about ¼" deep. Turn on skillet and let it heat up. Test with a little bit of breadcrumb mixture. If it sizzles, it's ready.
8. Dip each chicken breast into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture. Fry on both sides until golden brown.
9. Put a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the casserole pan.
10. Add chicken to your casserole pan.
11. Pour the rest of the sauce over each piece of chicken.
12. Cover with foil and bake 20-25 minutes.
13. Remove foil and add the mozzarella cheese and bake about 15 more minutes, until cheese is melted.
14. Serve immediately.
