Chicken Parmesan

 

This is another Family Circle recipe and, like the last, I couldn't find the recipe online.  I found this recipe to be fairly simple to put together and it was very good.  The only thing that I would recommend is to carefully watch your chicken while it is browning in the skillet because mine didn't take three minutes per side -- that left my chicken pieces a little too browned!

Chicken Parmesan

Serves 6

Prep 20 minutes

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
12 chicken tender filets, about 1 1/2 pounds
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup bottled marinara sauce
12 fresh basil leaves
1 cup shredded four cheese blend

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees
2. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish and egg in a shallow bowl.  Dip chicken pieces in egg, shaking off excess.  Coat with bread crumbs, place on a plate.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.  Add half the chicken and cook for 3 minutes per side.  Remove to a 9x13 inch baking dish.  Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and remaining chicken.
4. Spoon marinara sauce over a chicken in dish.  Top each tender with a basil leaf, then sprinkle cheese over chicken.
5. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes, until bubbly and cheese melts.  Serve with cooked ziti and marinara sauce, if desired.
