Chicken Parmigiana (oven)

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2-3 c. spaghetti sauce or classic tomato sauce
1 egg + 1 T. milk or 1/3 c. milk
1/2 c. Italian-style dry bread crumbs
1/4 c. canola oil, butter, or olive oil
4 slices mozzarella cheese or 2 c. grated mozzarella cheese
2 T. grated Parmesan cheese
2 T. chopped fresh parsley, optional (Easy to grow in your backyard or on a deck)

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2.  Pound chicken to flatten (put between two pieces of parchment, wax paper, etc. and pound)
3.  Salt and pepper the chicken
4.  Dip chicken in egg mixture, then in bread crumbs
5.  Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in oil about 10 minutes, turning once until chicken is golden brown.
6.  Spread 1- 1 1/2  cup(s) of the spaghetti sauce in a 13 x 9 x 2 inches. Arrange the chicken on sauce. Place slices of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast. Cover with 1 c. spaghetti sauce. Top with Parmesan.
7.  Cover and bake 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Uncover and bake about 10 minutes longer or until cheese is lightly browned.
8.  Serve over cooked spaghetti (whole wheat is delicious). Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.  (Parsley is very fun to grow on a patio or in the garden.  It comes back year after year.)
