20 min

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1⁄2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp SPG Seasoning or Herbed Garlic Sea Salt Blend
  • 1 egg
  • 1⁄4 cup low-fat milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 3⁄4 cups Marinara Sauce
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) crushed tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp Marinara Sauce Mix
  • 1⁄2 cup grated partly-skimmed mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp grated low-sodium Parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap. With a meat tenderizer mallet or the palm of your hand, flatten to an even thickness.
  2. On a large plate, combine breadcrumbs and seasoning or sea salt.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk milk and egg together. Dip chicken into mixture, then completely coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Preheat frying pan over medium heat. Swirl with oil, and add chicken. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 5 min.
  5. Add Marinara sauce. Gently stir, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 8 min. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan, and continue cooking until cheese is melted, approximately 2 min. Serve immediately.
