Chicken Parmigiana

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 8 chicken cutlets or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups jarred tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 6 oz. mozzarella, cut into 8 slices

Directions:

  1. Heat broiler.  Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a shallow bowl.  Season both sides of chicken with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.  Dip chicken in the beaten egg, then dredge in breadcrumbs mixture, turning to coat both sides.
  2. Spread tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 10x15 inch baking dish.  Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Place 4 chicken cutlets in skillet; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.  Using a spatula, transfer browned cutlets to baking dish, placing them on top of sauce.  Repeat with remaining oil and cutlets.
  3. Top each cutlet with a slice of mozzarella.  Broil about 4 inches from heat source until cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots, 5 to 8 minutes.  Serve immediately.
