Ingredients:

Serving

4 large good sized boneless chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise ( lite mayo works fine!)
1 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs (usually in the asian section of a regular grocery store)
1 (20 oz) jar of good marinara sauce ( prego , ragu , etc.)
1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 tbsp garlic (or 2 cloves, chopped )
1 tsp white sugar
1 dash salt and pepper
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh basil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix italian bread crumbs with panko in a large dish.
Slather each chicken breast with mayo and dredge in breadcrumbs.
Put chicken breasts side by side in baking dish and cook in oven for 15-18 minutes or until they start to brown on the outside.
Begin the sauce with jar of pasta sauce, can of tomatoes, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper (add a little onion if you wish). Simmer on low-medium heat until chicken is browning.
Remove chicken from oven and pour all of the sauce over the tops of the breasts.
Reduce oven temp to 375 and bake, uncovered, for another 20 minutes.
In the last 5 minutes, pull the chicken out again and layer on slices of FRESH MOZZARELLA all over the chicken and return to oven.
I usually turn the broiler on for about 2 mins to start the melting process then turn it back to the oven.
Once the cheese has melted and started to bubble, remove from oven.
Top with lots of torn Fresh Basil leaves.
Serve with pasta.
