Chicken Alberghetti
Ready In: 1 hr
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken breasts, halved, skinned and boned
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 1⁄2 cups breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 16 ounces good marinara sauce
- 1⁄2 cup milk or 1⁄2 cup half-and-half
- 8 slices swiss cheese, paper thin
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese, paper thin
- 1⁄2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
- Dip the chicken breast halves in egg.
- Roll in bread crumbs to coat all over.
- Fry chicken in half olive oil and half butter.
- Dilute marinara sauce with the milk and cover the bottom of a baking dish with sauce.
- Layer chicken on top of the sauce.
- Top with slices of Swiss and mozzarella cheese.
- Sprinkle parmesan over all and dot with approximately 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Bake in a 300 degree oven, covered for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more. In order to get the cheese to be real bubbly and a little bit browned, you may need to increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees for the last 10 or 15 minutes. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
- Can be cooked a day or two ahead and reheated for serving.
