Chicken Parmigiana

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 large boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1/3 cup flour
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 2 tsp fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
• 3 cups tomato sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions:

1. Mix the egg in a shallow bowl. Combine the bread crumbs and cheese in a separate bowl.

2. To make chicken cutlets slice the chicken through the center horizontally. Place cutletsmbetween two sheets of plastic wrap or plastic bag. Using a mallet or rolling pin, gently pound about 1/4 inch thick.

3. Coat the chicken breasts with flour and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dip them into the egg and then into the bread crumb-cheese mixture; set aside. Sauté garlic and add spinach and nutmeg stir over low heat until warm. Add the chicken and sauté over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until just done. Spread the spinach in a baking dish and place chicken on top. Remove all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Place it over medium heat and add the cream and your favorite tomato sauce. Stir scraping the bottom of the pan and heat thoroughly. Spoon a little of this sauce over the chicken and top with mozzarella cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley. Pour the rest of the sauce into a serving bowl.

4. Bake 350 degrees oven for 10 minutes.
