Simple Chicken Parmesan
INGREDIENTS
2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each), halved crosswise
1 large egg
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for passing at the table
DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan, heat garlic and 2 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat until garlic starts to sizzle. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer; simmer until sauce thickens a bit and flavors meld, 10 to 12 minutes. Cover and keep warm. (Remember, this makes twice the amount of sauce you need, so put aside half for another meal.)
Put chicken pieces between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound, using your fists or a heavy pan, until the cutlets are about 1/4-inch thick.
Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large soup kettle.
In a pie pan, beat egg until well-blended. In another pie pan, mix bread crumbs and more black pepper. Preheat broiler.
Working one cutlet at a time, dip both sides of each in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs. Put cutlets on a wire rack set over a cookie sheet (this step helps breading stay put).
Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet. When oil starts to shimmer, add cutlets and saute until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes total. Wash and dry the wire rack and return to cookie sheet. As the cutlets saute, cook pasta in boiling water according to package directions.
Transfer cutlets to clean wire rack over cookie sheet. Top each with a portion of the cheeses. Broil cutlets, 4 to 5 inches from heat source, until cheese melts and is spotty brown.
Drain pasta. Put a cutlet and a portion of pasta on each of 4 plates. Spoon 2 or 3 tablespoons of sauce over part of each cutlet, then sauce the pasta as desired. Serve with extra Parmesan.

Take some chicken breasts and pat them out to where they are pretty flat, then place desired cheese slices on the chicken and roll it up. Once that is done place in a baking pan cover with desired sauce and more cheese and bake at about 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is done.

I usually cheat and just use boneless skinless chicken breast and roll them in the Shake n Bake that has Parmesan in it. But if you are looking for a recipe, I use these websites, a lot,
www.allrecipes.com
www.marthastewart.com

Good luck, i love trying new recipes.

Follow any veal parmesan recipe and substitute chicken for veal! I use Panko (Japanese bread crumbs) instead of traditional. They have a much better crunch to them and can be seasoned before application.
