Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2 Tb olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped (approx 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 cans Italian diced tomatoes
  • 1 Tb sugar
  • 1/2 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are tender and transparent. Add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Chicken ingredients:

  • 12 pounds chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs
  • Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/41/2 c olive oil
  • 8 oz very thinly sliced mozzarella
  • 1/4 c Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Dip the chicken in egg and then in bread crumbs. Heat oil and cook chicken 2-3 minutes on each side. Put chicken on the bottom of a large baking dish (9×13). Put one thin slice of mozzarella and sprinkle parmesan on each breast and half of sauce on top. Repeat. Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with grated parmesan cheese.
  2. Lowfat version: skip breading and frying of the chicken. Place the chicken raw in the dish and do one layer of the cheeses. I don’t even measure, I just sprinkle on grated mozzarella and parmesan then top with sauce. Bake a little longer – more like 40 minutes. It is fabulous!
