Chicken Mozzarella Recipe

Step 1 Ingredients:

2 1/2 lbs. of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce
3/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves

Cut chicken breasts in half and remove skin. In a small bowl, beat eggs. Dip meat into eggs and then dip into dried bread crumbs. Heat butter in a large 12" round frying pan until melted. Place breasts in the frying pan over medium heat and simmer until it has browned on all sides. Stir in the tomato sauce and basil; reduce heat. Cover and cook over low heat until done, about 30-40 minutes.

Step 2 Ingredients:

1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 teaspoon paprika

In a small bowl, combine the Mozzarella cheese with the paprika until blended.

Arrange chicken pieces in an un-greased 9" square baking dish along with the rest of the ingredients from step 1. Sprinkle the cheese mixture on top. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake in your oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese has melted and is bubbly around the edges.
