Ingredients

  • 1 recipe of marinara sauce
  • 14 ounce can of diced tomatoes
  • 4 boneless , skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 eggs , beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs (about 3 or 4 slices bread)
  • 2 to 3 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese , divided
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 8 ounces freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • pasta , cooked according to package direction

Instructions

  • Start the marinara sauce recipe and add the can of diced tomatoes. Let it simmer while you prepare the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, pound the chicken breasts to 1/2" thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap. Generously salt and pepper both sides of the flattened breasts.
  • Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor. Add 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese and pulse to combine.
  • Set up separate bowls of flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs, then dredge all of the chicken breasts, first in the flour, then the eggs, then bread crumbs. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and grease a large sheet pan.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large skillet on medium heat until shimmering, then add two of the breasts and saute for 2 minutes, then flip the breasts and saute another two minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup marinara sauce over the top of each breast, then generously add Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and is just starting to brown.
  • Serve over pasta with additional marinara sauce.
