Mozzarella Chicken

Here’s a great fast dinner idea.  This chicken is really good served over a bed of spaghetti noodles with a side of your favorite veggies.
  • 1 c bread crumbs
  • 3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 3 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 1 c flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 3 oz Italian salad dressing (I actually prefer the Zesty Italian Dressing.)
  • 1/4 c margarine or butter (The original recipe calls for margarine, but I prefer the taste of butter better.  Go with what you like here.)
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese (You can substitute shredded mozzarella.)
Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in bowl; mix well.  In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper.  Dredge chicken in flour mixture.  Dip into egg; coat with crumb mixture.  Melt margarine or butter in skillet.  Brown chicken in skillet with margarine or butter.  Place in 8×8″ baking dish.  Pour salad dressing over chicken.  Top with cheese slices.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese melts.
