INGREDIENTS:
- 3 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 4 Tbsp. butter, sliced into pads
- 15 oz. canned tomato sauce
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 6 slices mozzarella cheese
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- When the oven is hot, place a baking pan with the butter in the oven.
- Flatten chicken breast with a meat tenderizing mallet.
- Put the beaten eggs in a dish. In a second dish, mix the breadcrumbs with the parmesan cheese.
- Cut each flattened breast in half.
- Dip the cutlets in the eggs and dredge in the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture.
- Remove the pan from the oven and spread the melted butter evenly across the bottom.
- Place the coated chicken in the hot pan and return to oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the chicken and return to oven for another 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by heating tomato sauce, oregano, sugar, and salt and pepper in a saucepan.
- After the chicken is finished baking, remove the pan from the oven, spoon the sauce over each piece and add a slice of mozzarella cheese to each.
- Return to the oven for a couple minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Tip! Leftovers are great in a sandwich or wrap.
