Tomato Chicken Parmesan


So, I made this the other night for the first time and praised the recipe the entire time we ate it. It was the most moist chicken I've ever made. I think it tastes just like the Olive Garden dish! Mike was a fan too. :)


1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon milk
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2-1/2 ounces seasoned bread crumbs
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 pound pasta sauce
2 slices Monterey Jack cheese

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
2. Pour beaten egg and milk into a shallow dish or bowl. In another shallow dish or bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Poke holes with a sharp knife in chicken breasts. Dip chicken into beaten egg and let sit for 2 minutes, then into bread crumb mixture to coat.
3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add coated chicken and saute for about 8 to 10 minutes each side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
4. Pour tomato sauce into a lightly greased baking dish. Add chicken, and bake in preheated oven for 15 mintues. Then place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese over each breast, and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
