Chicken Parmesan

Tonight I fixed one of our favorite dishes, Chicken Parmesan.
I served it with a steamed artichoke.
It was a fabulous dinner!

Chicken Parmesan

~ 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
~ ½ - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
~ 1 - 2 cups grated parmesan cheese
~ 1 - 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes with basil and oregano
~ ½ tsp. dried oregano leaves
~ ½ tsp. dried basil leaves
~ ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
~ 2 tsp. minced garlic
~ 1 egg
~ salt
~ pepper

For the sauce:

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, heat 1 tsp. minced garlic with olive oil for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes and oregano, basil and simmer

For the chicken:

Olive oil into a medium/large fry pan on medium heat

Beat the egg in one bowl.
Put 1/2 cup ++ parmesan cheese into one bowl.
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt & pepper.
Dip each breast in the egg and then the parmesan and place into the fry pan.
Cook in the fry pan for 3 minutes on each side.

In a sprayed baking dish, cover the bottom of the dish with 1/2 of the sauce.
Place the two chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
Cover the chicken with the remaining sauce.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Take the chicken out of the oven.
Cover each chicken breast with shredded Mozzarella (about 1/4 cup each breast)
Place in the broiler for about 4 minutes (until cheese is bub bly and brown)

Bon appétit!!
