Ingredients:
-4 slices whole wheat bread (for the breadcrumbs- just throw it in the food processor, then spread on a baking sheet, spray with cooking spray, and bake for about 12 min on 350. It's OK if they get a little too crispy, but you definitely don't want soft or soggy.)
-1/c flour (I used 1c, just to be safe and well coated!)
-1 tsp dried oregano (I'm pretty sure I used way more than this.)
-1/2 tsp dried garlic POWDER (not garlic SALT. Big difference in nutrition! Also pretty sure I used more.)
-4 tsp paprika
-1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
-1/2 tsp cinnamon (I think this was the amount? I honestly didn't measure any of this: I just put it all in various amounts based on how much I like the spice!)
-1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (I LOVE sweet and spicy!)
-2 eggs + 1/2c milk (Elie used just egg whites, but I'm not THAT crazy over the amount of fat in a dish- especially if it's from a natural source. Plus, the cholesterol is good for Ada's brain. Use whatever milk you've got in the fridge. Elie says skim, I used whole and it worked fine.)
-4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves; pounded to 1/2 in thick. (I would pound to even thinner- ours came out SUPER thick- which was amazing; but impossible to finish a whole breast! Maybe cut them in half before breading, too? These servings end up HUGE.)
-1 jar marinara sauce (I actually just used a pasta sauce I had on hand- complete with chunky vegetables. And it was great! You might want to double this to 2 jars- I'll explain later.)
-3/4 c mozzerella (I have no clue how much I actually used. I just covered the top of the dish!)
-2 tbl GOOD parmesan (we're talking the $8 wedge you get from the cheese lady at HEB. But you don't need much, and it will last a while wrapped in plastic in the fridge. Also- I'm pretty sure I used way more than 2 tbl!)
Directions:
-In 3 separate medium bowls (I used deep plates), put the flour, the eggs/milk, and the bread crumbs with all of your spices. Dredge each breast through 1)flour, 2) eggs/milk, and 3)the bread crumbs. Get a good, thorough coating of each to ensure major crispiness!!! Place them all on your foiled baking sheet.
-in a 400 oven, bake these for 15 minutes. Spray them with cooking spray on each side before hand.
-Pull out, top with a jar of marinara sauce and your cheeses, and bake another 10 minutes until cheese is bubbling and calling your name.
-We cooked spaghetti noodles to put our chicken on; but you will probably want another jar of pasta/marinara sauce b/c it just wasn't enough with the one jar over the chicken!
