For Chicken

7) Coat chicken breasts on both sides with flour, then dip on both sides in egg mixture, then dredge on both sides in cheese-bread crumb mixture

8) Add chicken breasts to skillet with EVOO. Cook just until brown on each side. It will finish cooking in the oven.

9) Place chicken breasts in prepared baking dish. Bake in oven for 15-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken

10) In the last 5 minutes, top breasts with mozzarella. This needs to be added in the end because cheese burns easily.

    This was soooo good! I don't even like Parmesan Cheese, though my husband does, and this was awesome for him, and satisfied my want of 'fried chicken'. Excellent! - 3/15/10

    This was excellent. My family loved it also. I served it with whole wheat pasta. I also heated some marinara to put on top if you wanted it. I will definately make this again and again. Very easy to prepare also. - 1/7/10
