Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC) if planning to finish under broiler, or prepare a microwave-safe dish.
  2. In a shallow bowl, beat the 2 eggs until smooth.
  3. On a plate, combine the 1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness if necessary, then dip each breast into the beaten egg.
  5. Coat the egg-dipped chicken thoroughly in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture.
  6. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, microwave-safe or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Brown the coated chicken breasts on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. In a small bowl, stir together 8 oz tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt.
  9. Spoon the tomato sauce mixture evenly over the browned chicken breasts in the skillet.
  10. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
  11. If using a microwave: Cover loosely with wax paper or microwave-safe lid and heat on high for 5-6 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbly.
  12. If using an oven: Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
  13. Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
  14. If using microwave: Heat uncovered for an additional 30 seconds until the final Parmesan is melted.
  15. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
