This easy SANDRA'S CHICKEN PARMIGIANA Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!
INGREDIENTS
2 large eggs, slightly beaten 1 teaspoon salt 1?4 teaspoon black pepper 3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, split 3?4 cup breadcrumbs 1?2 cup vegetable oil 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce (puree, or Italian tomatoes, which you should then crush) 1?2 teaspoon basil 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 tablespoon butter 1?2 cup parmesan cheese, grated (or more) 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced thin and cut into triangles
DIRECTIONS
Flatten the chicken breasts with a mallet. Then start to heat the oil in a large frying pan. While the oil is heating, combine the eggs, salt and pepper. Dip the breasts into the egg mixture, and then into breadcrumbs. About now, start to preheat the oven to 350 degrees. When the oil is hot, brown breasts on both sides, then drain them on paper towels. Transfer breasts to a baking dish that will hold them all in one layer. Drain all but 1 teaspoon of the remaining oil from frypan. In the frypan, saute garlic for 1 minute, then add tomato sauce (puree) and basil, and bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in butter. Pour tomato mixture over chicken breasts, and sprinkle with parmesan. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and put mozzarella slices neatly over chicken pieces. Bake uncovered for another 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
