This is delicious and so easy and fast to make! After the chicken was in the oven for 30 minutes, I put some of the warmed sauce and the cheeses on top (I used mozzarella and parmesan), and then stuck it under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melted. My family agreed that this was as good as what you get in a restaurant. Thanks for this wonderful recipe! I will be using it again.

Very good and easy to make. My hubby loves chicken parmesan and I wanted a special dinner for him tonight. I followed the recipe except I doubled the recipe. I used a 26 ounce jar of marinara sauce. I also used parmesan and mozzarella cheese instead of the cheddar. Very tasty and was enjoyed by the whole family. It's also a recipe made with ingredients I normally have on hand. Made for Fall PAC 2008.

This was so easy and good. I did mine right on the stove top in the skillet. Fried the chicken added the sauce and put it on low and covered with lid. After about 20 minutes I added a slice of mozzarella cheese instead of the cheddar cheese.
