Chicken Parmesan


Mmmm, pasta. Always a fave in this house. Haha. I was looking forward to this night's dinner. I think you can do chicken parmesan two ways...breaded or not breaded. I personally like breaded, but I don't mind the unbreaded kind. I made breaded, but I'll explain the unbreaded too. :)

Ingredients:
Chicken breasts (enough to feed everyone)
Bread crumbs, with italian seasoning (enough to dredge chicken in)
Flour (for dredging)
Egg (for dredging)
Mozzarella
Tomato pasta sauce
Spaghetti

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Put flour, egg, and breadcrumbs into three separate plates. Dredge chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Place onto a greased baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes. Turn over and then bake another 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Sprinkle with some mozzarella cheese, and put back in the oven just until cheese is melted. If you're doing the unbreaded, then skip the dredging, season the chicken with garlic, olive oil, and place on the greased baking sheet. Cook 10 minutes, and turn over, cook another 10 minutes or until cooked through. As another option, you can cook it with some of the tomato sauce. Either way, I would serve it with tomato sauce, then the melted cheese on top.

While chicken is cooking, boil water, then add pasta. Cook until just tender, or al dente. Heat pasta sauce, and stir together with cooked pasta.

Serve chicken either alongside or on top of the pasta and enjoy!
