Chicken Parmesan


(credit to Kellie)

INGREDIENTS
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (we usually just do one breast cut in half)
1/3 cup butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup season bread crumbs
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1 (15 1/2 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
sliced mozzarella cheese
grated parmesan cheese
spaghetti

DIRECTIONS
Pound chicken with meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick. Mix parmesan and bread crumbs. Dip chicken in beaten egg and then in bread
crumbs. Saute in butter, 3 minutes per side. Pour spaghetti sauce into pan. Add garlic, thyme, and oregano. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to simmer for 20 minutes. Place slices of mozzarella cheese atop each chicken 5 minutes before the end of cooking time. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top. Return cover to skillet.

Prepare pasta according to package directions while chicken simmers. Drain pasta and place on serving platter. Top with chicken pieces
and sauce.

Note: after browning chicken you can also put chicken and sauce in a pan in the oven and cook for a longer time.
