This is a simple take on a classic Italian chicken recipe.

Ingredients

• 4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup flour
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 2 cups bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup butter, unsalted
• 4 cups tomato sauce
• 1 pound mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

Directions

1. In a large skillet heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour.
3. Dip the breasts in the egg, coating all sides.
4. Dip the chicken into the bread crumbs and coat all sides.
5. Cook the chicken breasts until they are a deep golden brown on both sides.
6. Put 1 cup of tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer.
7. Add the cooked chicken to the baking dish.
8. Cover the chicken with the remaining tomato.
9. Cover each chicken breast with 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese.
10. Bake the chicken in the oven for ten minutes at 400F.

Note: If the cheese hasn't browned you can broil it for 1 minute.
This dish is perfect with spaghetti, a Caesar Salad, and garlic bread.
