3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
8 chicken cutlets or 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups jarred tomato sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into eight 1/4-inch-thick slices
Directions
Preheat broiler. Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan in a shallow bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in the beaten egg, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides.
Spread tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 10 x 15 inch baking dish. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 4 chicken cutlets in skillet and cook until golden, 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer browned cutlets to the baking dish, placing them on top of sauce. Repeat with remaining oil and cutlets. Top each cutlet with a slice of fresh mozzarella. Broil about 4 inches from heat source until sauce is hot and cheese is melted and lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
Let's Dish
This is a classic dish that always goes over well with kids and adults. It's also quick to make and comes together in about 20 minutes. Using fresh mozzarella makes a huge difference, so I definitley recommend it. I like to serve this with a side of pasta and some crusty bread.

I always forget about this too and I don't know why as it's one of my favourite ways to eat chicken. I find chicken can be boring but smothered in sauce and fresh mozzarella takes it to a whole new unboring level. :o) Great recipe, it looks SOOO good!!
