2 medium size chicken breasts - boneless & skinless
1- 14.5 oz can Italian style stewed tomatoes
1/2 of 12 oz jar Trader Joe's Bruschetta
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup Italian style bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded cheese - mozzarella or mixed monterey/cheddar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Press/pound chicken breast to about 1/2" thickness. In one pie dish, beat egg with milk - in another pie dish, combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Dip chicken in egg/milk mix to coat evenly then coat with bread crumb mix and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine stewed tomatoes and Brucshetta and stir to blend. In large skillet, heat olive oil on medium-low heat, then put breaded chicken breast on to cook. Turn when browned, about 5-7 minutes, then pour tomato mix over the top. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes more. Turn fire off and top with grated cheese. Let sit for a few more minutes until cheese melts.
Total preparation & cooking time is about 30 minutes.
Great with garlic bread and zucchini for a perfectly Italian dinner
Serves 4
My husband loves chicken parmesan and in my search for a good and easy recipe, I created this recipe by trial and error. He says it's the best he's ever had and probably knows better than to say anything less ;) It's so easy and definitely a family favorite!
