Chicken Parm With Spinach Recipe

YOU'LL NEED

1 extra-large egg
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each), pounded to uniform 1⁄3-inch thickness
1 1⁄2 cups tomato sauce (make your own, or buy a jar), heated
1⁄2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Garlic-lemon spinach

HOW TO MAKE IT


Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Crack the egg into a shallow dish and beat.
In a separate shallow dish (a pie pan works nicely), combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and a few generous pinches of salt and black pepper.
Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip into the egg, then into the bread crumbs, using your fingers to press the crumbs into the chicken.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet or roasting pan and place in the oven on the middle rack.
Bake for about 12 minutes, until the chicken is firm to the touch and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and set the oven to broil.
Cover each breast with a good ladle of tomato sauce and a handful of mozzarella. Return to the middle rack of the oven and broil for about 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Serve the chicken over the spinach with extra tomato sauce, if you like.
