Chicken Parmesan
from Sisters Cafe blog
Sauce Ingredients:
2 Tb. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped (approx 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 cans Italian diced tomatoes
1 Tbs. sugar
1/2 tsp basil
1 tsp. oregano
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are tender and transparent. Add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Chicken Ingredients:
1-2 lbs chicken breasts
2 eggs
Italian breadcrumbs
1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
8 oz very thinly sliced mozzarella
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Dip the chicken in egg and then in bread crumbs. Heat oil and cook chicken 2-3 minutes on each side. Put chicken on the bottom of a large baking dish (9x13). Put one thin slice of mozzarella and sprinkle with Parmesan on each breast and half of sauce on top. Repeat. Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Lowfat version:
skip breading and frying of the chicken. Place the chicken raw in the dish and do one layer of the cheeses then top with sauce. Bake a little longer- more like 40 minutes.
