Chicken Parmigiana


















Because this recipe is SO EASY I make it all the time and it's a healthier version with no egg and no frying =)

4 thawed boneless skinless chicken breast
2/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 Tbl. cornmeal
1/2 tsp. basil (optional)
1/2 tsp. parsley (optional)
1 jar spaghetti sauce your choice
4 slices mozzarella cheese (depending on how many pieces of chicken you do)
Cooking Spray

So first, depending on your liking, if your chicken breast is too thick you can slice it in half length wise to make it thinner or you can beat it down. I usually slice it =)

Preheat oven to 375.

Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil then spray pan and set aside.

Mix breadcrumbs, cornmeal and seasoning in a bowl.

Press chicken breast firmly into mixture coating each side generously. Set coated chicken in 9x13 dish. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Bake for 30 minutes. (I turn the chicken half way through but you don't have to)

take out and spoon as much sauce as you like on top of chicken. (I usually pour a whole jar on top so that there is extra sauce for the pasta)

Top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Bake for another 15 minutes or until cheese is well melted.

You can sprinkle top with extra parsley if you like (optional)

Eat with your pasta of choice!!!
