ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 egg, beaten lightly
- 1⁄2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 -2 tablespoon margarine or 1 -2 tablespoon butter
- 1 3⁄4 cups prepared spaghetti sauce (homemade or bottled)
- 1⁄2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 1/2 cup sliced provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- cooked spaghetti, to serve
directions
- Beat egg and set into a rimmed plate.
- Set bread crumbs in a second rimmed plate.
- Dip chicken breasts into the egg, then into the crumbs,coating both sides and shaking off excess.
- Melt butter or margarine over medium heat in a large, deep skillet. Add chicken breast halves to the pan and brown on both sides - just enough to brown the chicken, not to fully cook it yet.
- Pour spaghetti sauce into the pan, immediately reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken has cooked all the way through, about 15-20 minutes but the time will vary depending upon the thickness and size of your chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle with parsley and cheeses, re-cover, and simmer just until cheese melts- about 5 minutes.
- Serve with cooked spaghetti.

Wowsers! This was great and so easy. I used a good quality bottles pasta sauce and Italian blend for the shredded cheese. I served it over no yolk egg noodles and it was on the table in a flash. The chicken was very moist and full of flavour. It will definately become a regular weeknight meal for our busy family. Enjoyed by all!

This recipe was out of this world delicious, simply scrumptious and was very very easy to prepare.I would have given this recipe ten stars if they went that high!!! Iv'e been to some pretty nice Italian restaurants and theirs wasn't as good as this one!! I did pound the chicken, used my own homemade sauce,used provolone instead of motz,grated some fresh parm. chicken came out so wonderfully tender and moist.I served it with angel hair pasta. So glad theres more left in the fridge to have later!!! Hubby loved it too!!! YUMMMYYYYYYYYYYY
