Recipe
Marinara Sauce:
1. In a saucepot, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are translucent. Add tomato paste, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes and saute for two minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.
2. Add basil, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste, and set aside to cool.
Chicken:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pound chicken breasts to about ½ inch thickness. Split breasts into two pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Beat eggs and milk together. Bread chicken pieces by dusting with flour, dipping in egg wash and pressing in bread crumbs.
In a heavy bottomed saute pan, brown chicken on both sides in olive oil.
Set chicken pieces on paper towel to drain.
Arrange chicken pieces in a baking dish, so they slightly overlap. Cover each piece with 2 ounces of the marinara and then top with Mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle on Parmesan and place in the bottom third of the oven.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
The sauce and chicken can be cooked in advance and then assembled and baked at service.
Serves 6.
