Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients

~8 thinly sliced chicken cutlets

~1 egg

~2 tsp water

~1/3 c. bread crumbs

~1/3 c. grated parmesan

~flour

~dried parsley

~about 3 Tbls. EVOO

~mozzarella ( you can use sliced or shredded)

Directions

In one bowl add enough flour to coat your cutles. In another bowl beat the egg and 2 tsp. of water. In a third bowl mix the parmesan cheese with the bread cumbs and some dried parsley. Next dredge the cutlets through the flour first, then the egg mixture and finally through the bread crumbs. Place on a rack atop a cookies sheet for a few minutes to dry before frying. Next heat  EVOO in a large pan on medium high. Add cutlets, cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Spread a little sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish. Transfer cutlets to sauce in baking dish. Spoon sauce around cutlets. Top with slices of mozzarella. (I used slices from the deli. Next time I am going to buy the fresh ball of mozzarella and slice it thin.)

Bake at 425 degrees until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through.

I served it with the red sauce from my earlier post and linguine. We also had a delicious ceasar salad (made by my husband) and some fresh, crusty bread.

It was a DELICIOUS Sunday meal! Kevin liked it so much he took some leftovers home! 

ENJOY!
