What could be better for a cool fall evening but Chicken Parmesan for supper??
1/2 cup cracker crumbs
3 TBSP Parmesan cheese, divided
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 egg beaten
2 TBSP margarine
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix cracker crumbs with 1 TBSP of Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. Dip chicken into beaten egg. Roll in crumb mixture to coat. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add chicken. Cook, turning once in about 5 minutes. Place chicken in a lightly greased baking dish.
Add tomato sauce, basil, and garlic powder to the skillet and mix well with pan drippings. I usually add a bit of sugar to the sauce at this point to sweeten the taste of the tomato. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Spoon sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes.
This dish has quickly become a favorite of my kids and is easy to make!! Pair it with your choice of noodles whether fettuccine or spaghetti!! Enjoy! Bon Apetit!
