Chicken Parmesan recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs preferably Italian flavored
  • Olive oil
  • 8 slices low moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces of spaghetti or linguine

 

 

Steps to make it:

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Put the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to about 1/2 inch in thickness.
  4. In a medium bowl whisk together the egg and milk.
  5. Place the seasoned breadcrumbs in a different wide and shallow bowl.
  6. Dip the flattened chicken breasts in the milk and egg mixture and then in the seasoned breadcrumbs, turning each piece to coat it evenly.
  7. In a large skillet or sauté pan heat one inch of olive oil over medium heat until hot.
  8. Brown the chicken in the hot oil on both sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  9. Pour 1/3 of the pasta sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the chicken on top and use 7 mozzarella slices to cover the chicken.
  10. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and the cheese. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Tear the remaining mozzarella slice into pieces and scatter on top and then bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.
  11. While the chicken bakes cook the spaghetti or linguine in boiling salted water.
  12. Serve the chicken with the pasta.
