Here is the recipe: (slightly adapted)
Homemade Chicken Parmigiana
Ingredients- 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 chicken cutlets (about 1 1/2 pounds total), or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally
- Coarse Salt (I use Kosher) and freshly ground pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups jarred tomato sauce (Spaghetti Sauce, I use the one that is just "basil/tomato" sauce or you can make your own.
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, preferably fresh, cut into eight 1/4-inch-thick slices. (you can use shredded mozzarella, which is what I used)
Directions
-
Pre-heat your oven at 400F. Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a shallow
bowl. Season both sides of chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4
teaspoon pepper. Dip chicken in the beaten egg, then dredge in
breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides.
-
Spread tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 10-by-15-inch baking
dish. Heat 2 tablespoons 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.
-
Bake for 18 minutes. Increase oven temperature @475F, remove baking dish from oven and add your mozzarella cheese to each chicken breast. Return to the oven (cheese should melt and
lightly brown in spots), 5 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately with a side of pasta or your favorite salad (I use the Baby Spring Mix and Italian Dressing)
Enjoy!
