Tips and Tidbits

I found the bones of this recipe at the food network website.  I changed things a bit and made it smaller (the original recipe was for 8 or 10 people) and made it better fit the tastes of my family.

This is great for entertaining; you can prepare the dish up to the point of putting it in the oven before your guests arrive -giving you time to clean up and look like the perfect hostess. *Ü*

Chicken Parmesan

4 split chicken breasts, boneless & skinless

 2 eggs
garlic salt 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce (I use Classico)
black pepper 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
Italian bread crumbs oil or butter for frying

Preheat oven to 350*. Spread a thin layer of sauce in a 9x13 baking dish. Using a meat mallet pound chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. Season chicken breasts with garlic salt and black pepper. Beat eggs in a small dish.  Dredge chicken in eggs then bread crumbs and fry until golden brown. Place browned chicken in baking dish on top of sauce. Top each breast with an additional tablespoon of sauce. Bake for 30 minutes and add 1 oz cheese to each breast. Bake until cheese is melted. Serve with cooked pasta (I use the other half jar sauce and 2 tablespoons butter to coat pasta), garlic toast and salad.
