Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan

Source: Cheryl V. - My daughter-in-law - I love this recipe!

This is sooo good and pretty easy! It's going to be your "go to" recipe for a nice quick dinner. Perfect for company or just a family dinner.
Ingredients:
1 jar Classico Spaghetti Sauce with Olives and Mushrooms
Italian Bread Crumbs
Boneless Chicken Breasts (can use Chicken Tenders)
Egg
Olive oil
Mozzarella Cheese – grated
Spaghetti noodles – Any thin noodles will do –cook according to instructions on bag.
Instructions:
  • Heat the spaghetti sauce in a sauce pan. (set aside)

  • Pound the chicken breasts with a meat tenderizer hammer. (Make sure you put plastic wrap on bottom and top of chicken before pounding, or you will have chicken juice squirted all over the kitchen!)

  • Whip the egg in a bowl. Pour some bread crumbs on a flat plate.

  • Dip the pounded chicken breasts first in the egg, then coat with the bread crumbs.

  • Heat some Olive Oil in a fry pan. (You don’t need a lot, just to almost barely cover the bottom of the pan.)

  • Fry the breaded chicken breasts in the oil until brown on each side. I cover the pan for some of the time so the chicken breasts cook thoroughly inside.

  • When chicken is fully cooked, (I cut a piece of chicken in the middle to make sure there is no pink meat!) place chicken in a Pam sprayed baking dish.

  • Cover the chicken with grated mozzarella cheese and bake until cheese is melted.

  • Serve chicken on a dinner plate, spaghetti noodles on the side; cover both with heated spaghetti sauce.

    NOTE: The recipe does not include amounts. The jar of sauce would be enough for about 4-5 chicken breasts. If you want to make for 2 people, use half the jar. Make sure you plan to use the other half of the jar within a week. This is so good; you will want to have it again soon!

It's good too because you can hammer out your frustrations by tenderizing the chicken! Works wonders! :-)
