Chicken Parm-Mozzarella Style

You are in for a treat with this recipe- My husband and I make this dish weekly!

Ingredients:
1 lb. of boneless/skinless chicken breasts
2 tbs. of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Egg
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs
4 slices of fresh mozzarella
10 oz. jar of Ragu Robusto Sauteed Onions & Garlic
8 oz. of Wheat Pasta

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*. Prepare chicken breasts by cutting in half with kitchen scissors (4-6 pieces), I have found this trick to gives you a fresher taste. Place egg, flour and bread crumbs into three separate flat dishes for breading process. Whisk egg and season with a little salt and pepper. Take one chicken strip and dredge through flour, followed by emerging chicken in egg mixture, and finally roll chicken in the bread crumbs. Set breaded chicken aside until the breading process is finished.

Heat a non-stick skillet to medium heat, add 2 tbs. EVOO. Once pan is heated, add the breaded chicken. Allow the chicken to cook for 5 mins on each side (aprox.), flipping often, until breading is golden brown, and chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.

Place tomato sauce into a separate baking dish, add cooked breaded chicken and top with fresh mozzarella slices. Cover with Aluminium foil and bake for 20 mins.

Cook 8 oz. of wheat pasta according to the box directions.
