I recently “re-discovered” this recipe while searching through my cookbook collection, desperate for a dinner idea. It was even more delicious than I remembered, and I think it has become a new family favorite! 

• 24 oz. spaghetti sauce, warmed
• 2 T. olive oil
• 1.5 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half & pounded to 1/4” thin
• 1/3 c. Italian style dry bread crumbs
• 1/3 c. grated parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 c. mozzarella cheese
• 2 T. grated parmesan cheese

In shallow dish, mix bread crumbs and 1/3 c. parmesan cheese. Dip chicken into egg, then coat with bread crumb mixture.

In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook chicken in oil 10-15 minutes, turning once, until cooked through. 

Turn off skillet. Pour sauce around chicken in skillet. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over chicken. Cover and let cheese melt. Sprinkle with 2 T. parmesan just before serving. 

Enjoy!
