Chicken Parmesan

Made Chicken Parmesan tonight. Came out totally awesome! This is a seriously simple recipe. Well, the chicken part at least. Since I learned how to make it, I always make my own sauce. Obviously, you can use the sauce of your choice, but I'll give my sauce recipe here anyways.

Sauce:

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 onion
1 green pepper
1 tomato
1+ pound of ground beef
seasonings of choice
1 18oz can tomato paste
1 can stewed tomato
2 cans tomato sauce

Add olive/grapeseed oil to pot and cook garlic, add chopped onion and let cook until almost clear. Add pepper and tomato and let cook. Add ground beef, season and cook until beef is fully cooked. Add tomato paste, stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Add sugar to sweeten slightly.

Sauce before tomato stuff is added

I flattened the chicken out between a piece of plastic wrap with my rolling pin because that's what I had available to me, dipped it in egg, then in Parmesan breadcrumbs with a little extra cheese, salt and pepper, and then put it in my lightly coated oil skillet. I cooked the chicken until golden brown on both sides. I layered the bottom of my baking dish with a layer of sauce then added the chicken. I added a light layer of sauce on the chicken and then a light coating of shredded mozzarella.

Before Oven

I then baked it uncovered at 350 for about 20-30 minutes.

Final result:

After Oven

Sadly, I was too hungry to take a fully plated picture with the pasta included. Either way, it turned out really awesome.
