Chicken Parmesan

This recipe takes longer than your usual chicken, but the results are
delicious.
I usually don't measure my ingredients, since I made up this recipe,
so you may want to add more or less of the oil and bread crumbs.
Enjoy this dish with garlic mashed potatoes and garden salad.




6 pieces of chicken breast
1 onion
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 cup of bread crumbs
salt
pepper
1 package mozzarella cheese
1/2 jar favorite spaghetti sauce
2 Eggs
1/2 cup of flour
Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)


  1. Clean and cut of fat from the chicken breast. If the pieces are too thick either cut in half or pound down to your liking.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. Place each chicken in the flour, then egg, then the bread crumbs.
  4. Heat oil, lard, butter, or whatever you use to cook chicken on stove. Place the chicken in a skillet and fry until golden brown.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, slice the onion and place in a 9x13 oven dish with the remaining extra virgin olive oil.
  6. Once the chicken is fried, place each piece in the oven dish.
  7. Spoon spaghetti sauce over each piece. Use as much or as little as you like.
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place in a preheated (350F) oven for about 30 minutes.
  9. Uncover the dish and place thinly sliced mozzarella pieces on the chicken and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  10. Take the chicken out and place the onion on top. You can top the chicken with grated Parmesan cheese.
