Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 egg
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 slices mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/3 cups spaghetti sauce
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Place a chicken cutlet between two sheets of wax paper and flatten it to about 1/2 inch thickness using a mallet or rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
-
Season the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the egg. Dip each chicken cutlet in the beaten egg, ensuring it’s lightly coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly. Set aside.
-
Cook the Chicken: Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. Add more olive oil to the skillet if needed. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Assemble the Dish: Pour 1 cup of spaghetti sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Arrange the cooked chicken cutlets in a single layer over the sauce. Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce evenly over the chicken.
-
Top with Cheese: Place slices of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken cutlet, followed by a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve the addicting chicken parmesan hot, paired with your favorite side dishes or a bed of pasta.
