Chicken Mozzarella

This is simple and you get to make your own Italian bread crumbs, (HOW COOL IS THAT)! here's what you will need:

2 chicken breast
4 pieces of bread
basil, oregano, salt and pepper, garlic powder
mozzarella cheese
1 jar of sauce (spaghetti or marinara)
1 egg

Bread Crumbs:
toast your bread (not too dark) and then crumble it up until its very fine- then you will add 1 tsp of oregano, 1 tsp of basil, salt and pepper to taste and then 1 tsp of garlic powder and mix it up and set aside. I had time today so i slow toasted my bread for 2 hours in a low oven.

Mix your egg really well in its own bowl and set aside. NOW the chicken!! OK!! make sure you chicken is thawed completely place it on a cutting board cover with saran wrap and beat it with a hammer or a meat mallet until its about 1/4 thin!! place your chicken into the egg and set it aside.

In a skillet heat 2 cap fulls of oil- take your chicken from the egg and roll it in those breadcrumbs until it is completely coated- then brown on each side in the skillet. takes about 2-3 minutes.

when your chicken is browned put it in a pan and cover cook in a 425 oven for 20- 25minutes. (or until done) Take your chicken out uncover it and put the shredded mozzarella on top and then back in that hot oven  until the cheese is melted.

I just heat the amount of sauce i am going to use in the microwave and then freeze the rest- you will only need about 1 cup of sauce for this, and tonight it was a spaghetti sauce. And you simply heat it and pour desired amount over the chicken.

ENJOY! This chicken comes out so very tender it is sure to please even the most picky chicken eater :)
