Chicken Parmigiana

This is such an easy recipe for Chicken Parmigiana and my children's favorite dinner! Serve with a tossed salad and garlic bread.

4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs (I use Progresso)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 t pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup olive oil
1 (15 1/2 oz) jar spaghetti sauce
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
8 oz thin spaghetti noodles

Place chicken between two pieces of wax paper and pound with mallet or rolling pin until 1/4-inch thick.
Combine bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
Dip chicken in egg then coat with bread crumbs. Place chicken on a cookie sheet and chill for 10 minutes.
Prepare noodles according to package directions then drain and set aside.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken in oil until golden brown on each side. Place browned chicken in a large baking dish, spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce over each breast and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove chicken from oven, top with cheese slices and then bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with noodles and remaining warmed spaghetti sauce.
