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:
- 1–2 pounds chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/4–1/2 c olive oil
- 8 oz very thinly sliced mozzarella
- 1/4 c Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- 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.
- 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!
