Chicken Parmesan

This is one of those “nearly instant” type meals that you can whip up if you have some chicken.

All you need more are bread crumbs, cheese and a jar of marinara (or spaghetti) sauce that you can pick up at your local supermarket and keep in your cupboard.

Ingredients

·         CHICKEN, four large thighs (or two breasts halved), deboned, skin-on

·         BREAD CRUMBS, Italian flavored

·         OLIVE OIL, ¼ cup

·         PARMESANO REGGIANO CHEESE, ½ cup, grated

·         MARINARA SAUCE, from a jar

·         MOZZARELLA CHEESE, ½ cup, grated

Directions

1.       With a mallet, flatten the chicken until ¼-inch thin.

2.       Bread the chicken and brown in the olive oil over medium heat.

3.       Arrange the chicken on a wire rack in a cookie pan.

4.       Top with parmesan cheese, then spoon on marinara sauce to your liking.

5.       Top with mozzarella cheese.

6.       Bake in a 350˚ oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and turning golden brown.

7.       Serve immediately.
