Chicken Parmesan

Part of Eric's birthday dinner from last week :)  The rest was Potato Gnocchi in Hot Sausage, Peppers, and Onion Pasta Sauce with a side of homemade garlic bread and green beans.  Delish but too much!


4 4oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1/2 c flour
1/2 c Italian bread crumbs
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 eggs
1 1/2 c vegetable oil
2 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 equal rectangles
1/2 c pasta sauce

In a large non stick skillet, heat oil to 375 F over medium high heat.  Using three shallow bowls, place flour in one, eggs in the second, and garlic powder and bread crumbs in third.  Coat chicken thoroughly in flour then eggs then garlic bread crumbs.  Carefully place in heated oil.  Continue with three additional pieces of chicken.  Cook approximately 5 minutes on each side till golden brown.  Drain on paper towels.  Turn broiler to high.  Transfer chicken to an oven safe greased pan and top with sauce and a slice of mozzarella.  Place under broiler until cheese starts to melt and brown.
