- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup Italian style bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 lb (8 pieces) boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- olive oil
- cooking spray
- 1 jar pasta sauce, 24-26 ounces
- 8 oz fettucine, or your favorite long pasta
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Mix the bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese on a plate or in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in another shallow dish. Dredge the chicken pieces into the egg and then into the bread crumb mixture to coat.
Add enough olive oil to a nonstick frying pan to coat. Cook the chicken over medium high heat until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. (My pan holds 3 pieces so I have to do it in 3 batches.) Add more olive oil if your pan becomes too dry. Place chicken in a 9' X 13' casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray.
Put a spoon of sauce down the center of each piece of chicken; cook in a 350° oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. While the chicken is in the oven cook the fettucine and warm the remaining sauce in a medium saucepan.
After the chicken has cooked in the oven for 20 minutes spread mozzarella cheese over the part of the chicken that has the sauce and bake until melted. Serve with pasta covered with leftover sauce.
