1/2 cup olive oil (+ more for frying)
1 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan
Ground black pepper
6 large slices mozzarella cheese
1 large can (32 ozs) crushed tomatoes
(regular or Italian seasoned)
1 medium onion
Pound out chicken breasts between wax paper to 1/2-inch thick
In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese
In another shallow bowl, pour 1/2 cup olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 deg F
Dip chicken breasts first in olive oil, letting excess drip off, and then press into breadcrumb mixture
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium / low heat
