Tomato Chicken Parmesan

This quick, delicious Italian breaded chicken is smothered with cheese and served on a tomato-based pasta sauce.

Ingredients
2 eggs, beaten
1 C. grated Parmesan cheese
7 oz. seasoned bread crumbs
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
12 oz. pasta sauce
6 slices Monterey Jack cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 degrees C). Pour beaten eggs into a shallow dish or bowl. In another shallow dish or bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Dip chicken breasts into beaten egg, then into bread crumb mixture to coat.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add coated chicken and saute for about 8-10 minutes each side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Pour tomato sauce into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Add chicken, then place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese over each breast, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
