This is very good & the boys loved it, too! Allen doesn't like tomato-y dishes other than spaghetti so I don't put sauce on 3-4 pieces for him. I served this with rice pilaf & a veggie. This is a pleasant change from traditional Chicken Parmesan in which the chicken is pan fried & served over pasta with sauce on top.

Ingredients

• Salt and ground pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
• 1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
• 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
• 1 3/4 cups tomato basil pasta sauce
• 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs. In another bowl, combine Parmesan and breadcrumbs. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip tenders in egg, then in Parmesan mixture; place on a rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Broil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in the bottom of a sprayed 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Then top with chicken, remaining sauce, and finally mozzarella. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
