Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
If you are using large chicken breasts I recommend cutting each breast in half the short way. Then tenderize each piece of chicken by placing it between plastic wrap and using a meat mallet to pound it to 1/4" thickness.
Season both sides of your chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder to your taste.
In a shallow dish or pie plate combine 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning.
In a 2nd pie plate beat 2 eggs lightly.
In a 3rd pie plate combine 1/2 cup bread crumbs with 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs and 2 Tbsp Sargento shredded Parmesan cheese.
Coat the chicken on both sides by dipping it in the flour mixture, then egg, then bread crumbs.
Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot add the chicken breasts and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until browned.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 5 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Flip each piece over and add one slice of Sargento Mozzarella cheese to each piece of chicken. Fold the slice of cheese in half so it fits better.
Return the chicken to the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, heat your spaghetti sauce on the stove or in the microwave.
Serve chicken over a bed of noodles or on a hamburger bun as a sandwich. Top with spaghetti sauce and fresh parsley.
