Chicken Parmesan

I found the recipe for tonight's dinner on a fellow JKnottie/JFacie's blog. http://wineloverscookingdiary.blogspot.com/
When planning our menu for the week, we wanted a chicken dish that we have not cooked in a while. The chicken parmesan is prepared a bit differently than we have in the past, but this version is a bit healthier since the chicken is not fried. We served it over a Whole Grain Penne Pasta.

Ingredients:
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Italian breadcrumbs
Garlic powder
Parmesan cheese
Marina Sauce (we made our own sauce)
Mozzarella cheese


Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Mix in chicken to coat.
3) Place chicken in 13x9 baking dish and cook for 30 minutes.
4) After 30 minutes, remove chicken and cover breasts with sauce. Bake for 10 minutes.
5) After 10 minutes, top chicken breasts with mozzarella cheese and bake for 5 minutes.

The chicken was very moist, full of flavor and the whole grain pasta was delicious.

Wife Rating: A
I love cheese -- and this was very cheesy! The pasta was delicious and the chicken was great. Definitely a good choice!


We'll make this dish again -- definitely!
