Debbie's Parmesan Chicken (Serves 6)


3-4 chicken breasts (depending on size): Slice in half horizontally to make pieces of equal thickness

6 cups corn flakes
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 can tomato sauce
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese (whole milk is best)
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350. Crush cornflakes in bowl using plastic cup. Mix in parmesan cheese. Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Take chicken breast slices one at a time and dip in egg, then cover completely in crumb mixture and place in large Pyrex baking dish. Place in oven for 20 minutes. While baking, mix together tomato sauce and Italian seasoning and simmer in small saucepan on lowest heat, stirring occasionally.

Remove chicken from oven to stove top. Spoon tomato sauce over the top of each piece. Sprinkle generous amount of cheese over each and return to oven for 8 minutes.

Serve with salad, fruit, french bread, and mini pasta mixed with a little butter and freshly chopped parsley. (Also nice with potatoes and parsley, instead of pasta).
