Chicken (Not so) Parmesan

Why it is called chicken parmesan is a mystery to me. Most restaurants I have ordered it from does not come with parmesan on it. For that I am greatful, as I do not like parmesan. This recipe is very simple to make and packs so much flavor. Enjoy!

Serves 4

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
salt and pepper
2 cups bread crumbs
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 large egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 jar pasta sauce or homemade sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 servings cooked thin spaghetti

On a plate, sprinkle bread crumbs and toss with italian seasoning. Salt and pepper chicken and coat with the egg mixture. Cover with bread crumbs. Repeat until all chicken is coated. In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Place chicken in pan and sear on each side for 3 minutes, until light brown, and remove. Chicken will not be cooked all the way. Pour pasta sauce into skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Place chicken on top of sauce and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. Top each breast with 1/4 cup cheese. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Serve chicken and sauce with cooked pasta. Enjoy!!!
