Simple & straight forward recipe. I prefer jack cheese on top, just because of the stringiness of melted mozzarella. This is pretty much the same as the way I've always made mine.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan
cheese8 chicken cutlets (about 1 1/2 pounds total), or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 large egg, lightly beaten 2 cups jarred tomato sauce or Easy Chunky Tomato Sauce 1/4 cup olive oil 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, preferably fresh, cut into eight 1/4-inch-thick slices
Instructions:
Heat broiler. Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a shallow bowl. Season both sides of chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dip chicken in the beaten egg, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides.
Spread tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 10-by-15-inch baking dish. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 4 chicken cutlets in skillet; cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Using a spatula, transfer browned cutlets to baking dish, placing them on top of sauce. Repeat with remaining oil and cutlets.
Top each cutlet with a slice of mozzarella. Broil about 4 inches from heat source until sauce is hot and cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
