Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless, about 4 to 6 ounces each
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 breadcrumbs, fine dry
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • Dash pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounces marinara, or spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Take a boneless, skinless chicken breast portion and place it in a food storage bag or cover it with plastic wrap; gently pound the chicken to flatten it slightly to an even thickness. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Set aside.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil; grease lightly or spray with cooking spray.
  • Heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Whisk the egg and milk in a separate shallow bowl.
  • In another shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, basil, parsley, a dash of pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Dip each chicken piece in flour to create a dry surface, then in the egg mixture to help the crumb mixture adhere, and finally coat it with the crumb mixture for a crispy texture. Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  • Pour about 1/3 of the spaghetti sauce into a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. Arrange the cooked chicken on top of the sauce; pour the remaining sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
  • Serve over spaghetti, fettuccine, capellini, or other pasta.
