Chicken With Parmesan and Mozzarella

Chicken With Cheese and Pasta

D. Rattray
This is an easy dinner to prepare, and it's relatively low in fat if you use the lower amounts of cheese. If you're short on time, use seasoned fine dry bread crumbs and a little Parmesan for the coating.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup soft fine bread crumbs
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, fresh shredded
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • dash pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 chicken breast halves
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) spaghetti sauce or marinara
  • 1/2 to 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • hot cooked pasta, drained

Preparation:

Line a baking sheet with foil; spray with olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray. Heat oven to 350°.

In a food processor, grind crumbs, Parmesan, basil, parsley, and a dash of pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt until fine. Pour into a plate or shallow bowl.

Pound chicken lightly to flatten evenly.

Beat egg with the milk in a shallow bowl.

Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture then coat with crumb mixture. Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

In an 11x7-inch baking dish, pour about 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce. Arrange the cooked chicken on the sauce; pour remaining sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until bubbly and cheese is melted.

Serve over hot cooked and drained pasta or noodles.
