Oven Baked Chicken Parmesean

This recipe is so easy and a quick healthier alternative to pan frying this classic Italian favorite.  I've always done, the typical dip in milk then bread crumbs, then egg.  I've found out that those steps can be skipped altogether, who knew?

This alternative still maintains all of the tender and moist goodness of the chicken, the dinner table was quiet during this meal and no chicken was left to be seen.

What you will need

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half

1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (I used 4C )

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

3 tbsp butter, melted

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Favorite spaghetti sauce of your choice.

 cooking spray

Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.

 What you do:

Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl.

 Melt the butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into bread crumb mixture.  Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.

Lightly spray a little more cooking oil on top and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over, bake another 5 minutes. Remove from oven, top with shredded cheese and spoon sauce over chicken. Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.

Prepare with your favorite pasta or salad and enjoy.
