Easy and Delicious Chicken Parmigiana
- 34 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 34 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 12 lbs chicken cutlets (8) or 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt & fresh ground pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups jarred tomato sauce (or homemade)
- 14 cup olive oil
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, preferably fresh, cut into eight 1/4 inch thick slices
- If using chicken breasts halve them horizontally.
- Heat broiler.
- Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a shallow bowl or Ziploc bag.
- Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Dip chicken in the beaten egg (be sure to let it drip the excess off), then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.
- Spread tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 10-by-15 inch baking dish.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Place 4 chicken cutlets in skillet; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
- Using a spatula, transfer browned cutlets to baking dish, on top of the sauce.
- Repeat with remaining oil and cutlets.
- Top each cutlet with a slice of mozarella.
