Chicken Parmesan

A quick and delicious recipe to satisfy a craving for Italian food — and who doesn't crave Italian food?

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 4 chicken breasts
• 2/3 jar of arrabiata or basil sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg
• Bread crumbs (for breading)
• Cornstarch (for breading)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Take each chicken breast and flatten it with a meat mallet or if you don't have one, the jar of sauce (just make sure it's full!)
2. Beat the egg and place the bread crumbs on a seperate plate with the cornstarch.
3. Heat a glug of olive oil in a skillet. Season each breast, dip it in the starch, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, making sure they are completely covered. Cook on both sides, 5 min. per side.
4. If your frying pan is oven safe you can continue to use it, otherwise transfer the breasts to a serving dish. Pour the sauce on top and sprinkle with cheese. Cook in the oven on grill mode for 8 to 10 min. and serve with fresh basil.
