Chicken Parmesan

This is an easy, yummy meal. Most of the ingredients are out of a can so it whips up fast and if you wanted to dress it up, you could make your own sauce!

Chicken Parmesan

Milk
Bread Crumbs
Italian Seasonings
Chicken
Pasta of choice
Spaghetti Sauce

This is a simple recipe. If you want to be fancy you can make a homemade sauce.

Preheat oven to 350 *.
Pound out chicken breasts until about ¼-1/2 inch thick. I do this by putting the chicken between two pieces of Saran Wrap or wax paper. If you don’t have a mallet you can use a heavy frying pan.
Dip pounded chicken breasts in milk and then breadcrumbs. You can by Italian crumbs or just add some seasoning to plain breadcrumbs. Coat the chicken evenly and place in a heated frying pan that has a little olive oil in it. Repeat with other chicken breasts. Lightly pan fry chicken breasts. Cover with spaghetti sauce. Bake for 30 minutes. I bake these in the frying pan, but this can only be done if your frying pan is oven safe (ex. No plastic or rubber pieces). Otherwise you can transfer the breast to a baking dish, cover with the sauce and cook.

After 30 minutes top chicken with either mozzarella or Parmesan cheese and return to oven for 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
Cook pasta of choice. Serve chicken over pasta and with plenty of sauce. Very yummy!
