This was excellent!!! I used a parmesan and romano blend and also used Bertolli Olive Oil and Garlic sauce. I did not have any mozzarella Cheese for the top but I used extra sharp cheddar and it tasted fabulous... Thanks for this recipe I have made it twice already... ;)

This was good and easy to make. I made this for my husband for Father's Day as he loved chicken parmesan. I followed the recipe except that I used pam instead of butter in the pan. I also did this all on the stove as I didn't feel like heating up the oven. I also used sliced mozzarella cheese instead of shredded as that is what I had on hand. We all enjoyed this but my husband thought the coating needed a bit more seasoning. He said it needed some pepper and maybe some garlic powder.

Really easy and tasty dish! Used a full 24 ounce jar of spaghetti sauce and the only white cheese I had on hand was sliced Swiss and it worked great.
