Chicken Parmesan

This is a very quick and easy recipe for GOOD chicken!

4 Chicken Breast (or however many people you are feeding, one per person)
Mozzarella Cheese
Spaghetti Sauce (whatever kind you have on hand)
Bread Crumbs
Egg
Flour

Pound down your chicken until it is about 1/2 inch thick (for faster cooking in the oven). You can keep it thicker if you want. Then get 3 bowls and fill 1 with flour, 1 with 2 eggs (more if needed) just a little bit beaten, and then the other with bread crumbs. Salt and Pepper your chicken and then dip it in each bowl, beginning with the flour then the egg then the bread crumbs. Be sure the chicken is completely coated with the bread crumbs. Then place these on a greased 9x12 pan. Cover the pan with foil and cook at 350 degrees for about 30 or 40 mins. This just depends on how long it normally takes to cook chicken in your particular oven. Then when the chicken is almost completely done in the oven take the foil off and put spaghetti sauce and moz cheese on each peice. This make it all warm and SOOO GOOD. I also cook this with spaghetti and salad for a whole meal. So there you go, a very quick and easy meal.

Just a little tip I picked up from a chef on TV. When you are dipping chicken in egg or butter or whatever you do to get bread crumbs or over things to stick to you chicken, be sure to put your chicken in flour first. To make the crumbs stick to your chicken better it needs to continue a pattern of wet, dry, wet. Since the chicken is already wet by itself you need to dip it in flour to make it dry, then egg or butter to make it wet, then crumbs to make it dry again. Just a cooking tip for anyone!
