Easiest chicken parmesan you will ever make :)

Easiest Chicken Parmesan EVER!
Here is my version of Chicken Parmesan...I find it to be very simple and extremely flavorful!
Ingredients:
Chicken breasts
seasoned bread crumbs
italian dressing (any brand will work)
Fresh Mozzarella
Fresh Parmesan

Directions:
Preheat oven 375
1. Allow chicken to marinate. You can place chicken into a container with dressing that covers the top of the chicken. You can marinate for an hour or overnight.
2. Coat chicken in seasoned bread crumbs.
3. Saute Chicken with 4 tsps  of EVOO in a frying pan. Only for 3 minutes on each side. Just to brown, not to cook fully.
4.  Place chicken on a sheet pan (if your frying pan cannot stand the heat of the oven) cook in oven for 15 minutes. Remove chicken from oven.
5. Place a few tbs of fresh marinara on chicken, then add the Fresh cheeses on top of the chicken  and place back into the oven until cheese are bubbly and melted.


Fresh Marinara ( I make my own...here is one that I like)

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon good olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (1 onion)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup good red wine, such as Chianti
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or plum tomatoes in puree, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the wine and cook on high heat, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan, until almost all the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cover, and simmer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes.
