Simple Chicken Parmigiana



So I love Chicken Parm in restaurants, but I've never tried to make it before... I'm sure there are tons of recipes out there, but I kinda played this by ear last night. I was hungry and didn't want to spend an hour on dinner.

So I used:
2 chicken breasts
about 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs (if you only have the regular bread crumbs, just add about a teaspoon of italian seasoning)
about 2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 egg
about 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
spaghetti to serve
about 1 cup Marinara sauce (or meatless pasta sauce)

Directions:
if you want, you can flatten your chicken breasts a bit so they cook more evenly. Just place the chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and have at it.
Next, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and in a separate shallow bowl or plate, mix parmesan cheese with the bread crumbs.  Coat the chicken in the egg and then cover in bread crumbs.

Place chicken in a baking dish and bake at 375 degrees 10 minutes each side.

Meanwhile, cook the pasta of your choice and warm up some marinara sauce.

Once chicken is cooked, serve over pasta and drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with cheese!
