This easy Italian specialty makes a family-pleasing main course. Shared by Gert Kaiser of Kenosha, Wisconsin, it features delicious seasoned chicken breast halves in a flavorful pasta sauce and comes together in minutes. Ingredients:
1 egg |
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1 jar (26 ounces) garden-style pasta sauce |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
hot cooked pasta, optional |
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg. Place the bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in egg, then coat with crumbs. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-22 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170° Pour pasta sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with cheese.
3. Bake 12-14 minutes longer or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted. Serve with pasta if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
