Home-Style Baked Chicken Parmesan

Yield
4 servings


Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts       (approx. 1 lb/ 500 g) 4
½  cup flour 125 mL
2 eggs, beaten 2
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs 175 mL
½  cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided 125 mL
1 Tbsp vegetable oil 15 mL
2 Tbsp butter 30 mL
2 Tbsp flour 30 mL
1 ¼ cups milk 300 mL
1 tsp sale 5 mL
¼ tsp each of pepper, dried basil, and oregano 1 mL
3/4 cup prepared tomato sauce 175 mL
1 cup grated Canadian mozzarella cheese 250 mL


Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry. Pound to flatten slightly. Dust chicken lightly with flour. Dip into egg. Combine breadcrumbs with ¼ cup (60 mL) of the Parmesan cheese. Pat breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken. Line a 9 x 13 inch (3.5 L) baking dish with foil. Brush with vegetable oil. Arrange chicken in the dish in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Meanwhile, in medium-sized saucepan melt butter and whisk in 2 Tbsp (30 mL) flour. Cook, without browning, for 3 minutes. Whisk in milk. Bring to a boil. Add seasonings; reduce heat. Cook 5 minutes, stirring often. Spread some of the milk sauce on each chicken breast. Drizzle with prepared tomato sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes longer.
