Chicken Parmesan for Two

By McLean

Ingredients

• 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 2 egg wites, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce
• 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded mozzarella
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine breadcrumbs, flour, and red pepper in a small bowl, set aside.

Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Dip each breast in egg whites, and coat again with breadcrumbs mixture.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add chicken, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until done.

Place chicken breasts in a single layer in a lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish. Top evenly with pasta sauce and cheese. Bake 10 minutes or until cheeses melt.
