Tenderize chicken breasts to about ½ inch thickness. You don’t have to have a meat tenderizer. Watch Dave’s video demonstration with an every day kitchen item on Facebook !

1. In a bowl, beat eggs and milk until mixed thoroughly; in another bowl add flour, salt & pepper and mix; in a third bowl put bread crumbs.

While oil is heating, dip each chicken breast first in the flour, then egg, then bread crumbs; make sure each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated; place one or two pieces of chicken in heated oil making sure they do not overlap;

2. Put oil in a frying pan and bring to temperature on medium-high heat; you will know when the oil is hot enough when you put a drop of water in and it bubbles.

3. Fry on each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown- chicken will not be fully cooked; place paper towels onto a plate or cookie sheet; when chicken is done, remove and place chicken on paper towel to drain excess oil; repeat this process with new paper towels for each piece.

4. While the chicken is frying, put 2 cups of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9” x 13” baking dish; spread until the bottom is evenly coated.

5. When chicken is done, place side by side in the baking dish; divide mozzarella cheese and spread evenly over each piece of chicken.

6. Bake covered for 30 minutes; uncover and broil for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is golden.

Serve with additional sauce and a delicious salad & garlic bread!
