Tasty Tuesday: Chicken Parmesan

What could be better for a cool fall evening but Chicken Parmesan for supper??

1/2 cup cracker crumbs
3    TBSP Parmesan cheese, divided
4    skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1     egg beaten
2     TBSP margarine
1     15 ounce can tomato sauce
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Mix cracker crumbs with 1 TBSP of Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish.  Dip chicken into beaten egg.  Roll in crumb mixture to coat.  Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add chicken.  Cook, turning once in about 5 minutes.  Place chicken in a lightly greased baking dish. 

Add tomato sauce, basil, and garlic powder to the skillet and mix well with pan drippings.  I usually add a bit of sugar to the sauce at this point to sweeten the taste of the tomato.  Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.


Spoon sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.  Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.  Bake for 20 minutes.


This dish has quickly become a favorite of my kids and is easy to make!!  Pair it with your choice of noodles whether fettuccine or spaghetti!!   Enjoy!  Bon Apetit!
