Mom's Chicken "Parmesan"

4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
seasoned bread crumbs
8 slices mozzarella cheese, or more
1 jar (16 oz) spaghetti sauce
Parmesan cheese
PREPARATION:
Whisk together the egg and milk. Dip the chicken breasts in milk and egg mixture and then cover bread crumbs. Brown in a skillet with olive oil or deep fry each piece for about 2 minutes. Set chicken in a baking dish.
Slice 8 pieces of mozzarella cheese and put two on each chicken breast. Pour 1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce over all. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little more mozzarella and bake at 350° for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Serve with spaghetti and garlic bread.


This is the recipe my mother usually uses...
this weekend she substitutes the sliced mozzarella for shredded mozzarella. She threw out the cheese measurement and just used the whole bag. In this case, the more cheese the better!
(We had company, hence ALL the chicken)

Your mom is awesome, just had to say that. Chicken Parm is always good and those pics look delicious. My mom makes a pretty good chicken parm too but she does it much differently. She's a health nut so the chicken is grilled but she never bakes it. It just goes in the microwave for a minute to melt the cheesy. Kind of cheesy [the not so good kind :)] but it gets the job done.
