Chicken Parmigiana

I served this last night for dinner with friends. Everyone loved it and the funny thing is I forgot to buy the Parmesan cheese. It still worked hope you enjoy.

2 eggs Beaten
1/4lb dry bread crumbs
4(or how ever many you are making) Skinless chicken breasts
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
Mozzarella cheese to cover
Parmesan cheese to cover and Optionally add to Bread crumbs (Yumm)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Pour egg into a small shallow bowl, and bread crumbs in another bowl. Dip Chicken into egg, then into the bread crumbs. Place coated chicken on a cookie cooling rack that is set on a baking sheet (this helps the bottom of the chicken to get nice and crispy). Place in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear (40 minutes was plenty for my chicken)

Pour 1/2 of the spaghetti sauce into a 7x11 inch baking dish(7x11 who has heard of that i used a 13x9 worked great) place the now lovely cooked chicken over sauce, and cover with remaining sauce. sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top and return to the preheated oven for 20minutes.

This dish was great. some additional ideas would be to add parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs before coating. also you don't have to pour the second half of the spaghetti over the chicken you could just have it warming on the stove to pour over your choice of noodles to go with the chicken. This would help your chicken to stay more crisp. (that's what i did but i like it crispy).

Yumm enjoy this with a green salad.
