Chicken Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (25-ounce) jar lower-sodium marinara sauce
- 2.25 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 6 chicken cutlets or chicken breasts pounded to 1/3-inch thickness (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- Cooking spray
- 6 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons sliced fresh basil
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
- Combine first 3 ingredients. Place flour in a shallow bowl or dish. Place breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup cheese in a second shallow bowl or dish. Combine 2 tablespoons water and egg in a third bowl; stir with a whisk.
- Working with 1 cutlet at a time, dredge cutlets in flour; dip in egg mixture, and dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Cook half of cutlets 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove cutlets from pan; keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining oil and cutlets.
- Pour 2/3 cup pasta sauce mixture into bottom of a 3-quart casserole coated with cooking spray. Arrange chicken cutlets in a single layer over sauce mixture; cover with remaining sauce mixture. Top with mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Cover and bake at 375u0b0 for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until cheese melts and top is brown and bubbly around edges. Sprinkle with basil.
