Very fast and easy to make! And delicious! Barilla Napoletana(R) ready-made tomato sauce and garlic with a little bit of fresh lemon goes along very well with chicken.

  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat and fry coated chicken breasts until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

  • Pour pasta sauce over chicken, cover, and bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Cover and simmer until cheeses melt, about 5 more minutes.

My husband and I both really liked this recipe. I made this recipe as is except I used thinly sliced chicken breast (you could also pound your chicken breast). I reduced the cooking time to accommodate. I browned for 2 1/2 minutes on each side then reduced the simmer time to about 8 minutes. I think using a thinner chicken breast really sealed the deal with this recipe. Read More

I made this for my boyfriend and he loved it! I also made it at his house which means a general lack of kitchen supplies. If I had known it was that easy to flatten chicken literally by hand I would have done it more. I used a plastic baggie between my hands and chicken and actually pounded it down. That was fun. lol It took 2 eggs and I didn't measure out the bread crumbs. I can see myself making this again. Read More
