a combination/creation of various internet recipes and tips.
Trim and carefully slice the chicken breasts in half.
For thinner cutlets: with the flat side of a cleaver or a heavy skillet (you can also use a roller or even a wine bottle), pound or roll the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap to the desired thickness (usually about 1/4"). OR butterfly them.
Spread the bread crumbs and desidred spices on a flat plate.
Preheat oven to 400?.
Warm the tomato sauce, seasoning to taste.
Bread cutlets by dipping them first in flour, then in beaten egg, then breadcrumbs.
On medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Sautee the breaded cutlets until they are deep golden brown on both sides. Remove to paper cooling rack over paper towels to drain.
Put 1/2 cup of the warm tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold the cutlets in one layer. Add the cooked cutlets to the baking dish; cover with the rest of the tomato sauce of the warm tomato sauce and the sliced/grated mozzarella.
Cook the chicken parmesan in the oven for ten minutes. If the cheese has not melted/browned you can slip it under the broiler for a minute or so - keep an eye on it so the cheese does not burn.
Serve with fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Goes great with a side of pasta and a green salad and or French/Italian bread, or garlic bread.
