Chicken Parmesan (Pollo Parmigiana)






Ingredients: 
6 chicken cutlets
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
5 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Instructions:
In a bowl combine bread crumbs, oregano, nutmeg, salt, pepper and 2 tbsp of Parmesan.
In a second bowl beat the eggs and in to the third bowl add flour .
Tenderize the chicken, but not too much. Or else it will be dry.
Dredge the chicken in flour, than dip in the egg and cover in bread crumb-spice mixture.
Over medium heat, preheat olive oil in a large skillet.
Fry the chicken, until golden for 4-5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook  for about 5-6 minutes over  medium-low heat, covered with a lid until the chicken is cooked.
Take the chicken out of the skillet and place on plate covered with a paper towel.
Spray or brush baking pan with olive oil, spread 4 tbsp of marinara sauce on the bottom of the pan.
Place chicken on top, spread the rest of the sauce on top, sprinkle with Parmesan and top with Mozzarella cheese.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and bake for 5-10 minutes until the cheese melted and sauce started to bubble.
Serve with pasta of your choice.
Enjoy!
