Directions: |
Directions:The cheese may not be available or in your budget, so you can use common Mozzarella, and 2 ½ cups grated Parmesan, preferably fresh.
Heat oven to 350
Spread about 1 cup sauce on bottom of 15X9x2 inch pan sprayed with non stick coating. Pound chicken breast, to even ½ inch thickness. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with sea salt and pepper. Spread bread crumbs on plate. Whisk eggs to blend in shallow pie pan, spread flour on another plate. Coat both sides of chicken with flour, then egg, then crumbs. On Med high, heat 2 TBL oil in large non stick skillet. Brown chicken in batches about 2 minutes per side, add more oil as needed. Place in pan with sauce, if they are too crowded you can over lap them a little. Spoon over the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with Mozzarella, and Parmesan and Romano Cheese. Bake in oven until cheese melts and chicken is cooked through about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh Basil. I like to serve mine over fettuccine noodles. |
