Classic Chicken Parmesan
4 servings
40 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 4 oz Deli fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (or ½ cup egg substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, coarsely chopped
  • ½ cup Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 4 boneless chicken cutlets (1–1 ¼ lb)
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary/sun-dried tomato seasoning
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 8 oz angel hair pasta
  • 2 cups pasta sauce

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring water to boil for pasta.
    2. Cut cheese into four ½-inch-thick slices. Place flour in shallow bowl and eggs in second bowl. Chop basil, place in third bowl; stir in bread crumbs.
    3. Season chicken on both sides with the seasoning. Dredge chicken in flour (coating both sides); dip into egg (allowing excess to drip off). Finally, coat chicken with bread crumb mixture; press with fingertips to evenly coat (wash hands).
    4. Preheat oil in large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Add chicken; cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer chicken to baking sheet and top with cheese; bake 4–5 minutes or until cheese melts and chicken is 165°F.
    5. Cook and drain pasta following package instructions. Place sauce in same pan and simmer 2–3 minutes or until hot. Place pasta on serving plates; top with sauce and chicken. Serve.
